Uploading files

Please visit this Online Manual section for details on how to use the web hosting Control Panel's File Manager.

Your FTP/SFTP (host) address is your domain name (your_domain.com).You can also use the hostname of the server on which your account is hosted. This information can be found in the Welcome e-mail message of your hosting account or in the web hosting Control Panel, at the left pane.

By default all files which can be accessed over the web are located under the /www directory. On the /www level you will find the directories which store the files for your subdomains (e.g sub.example.com), including the directory where your main web site files should be uploaded (e.g www.example.com). So, the files for your main web site must be uploaded in the /www/www directory. This is your web root folder. In case you need to upload files to a subdomain you have created, its files should be uploaded to the corresponding subdomain folder. For example, if you have a subdomain http://gallery.example.com (gallery is the subdomain name) its webroot folder on your account will be /www/gallery/. In case you wish to upload files to a location which is outside your webroot, you can use the Private directory.

The /private directory is a directory with a special purpose. You can use this directory to store content that cannot be accessed directly via the web. This directory is outside of your web root. You can access the contents of this directory using FTP or using scripts on your web site. For example, you can use the /private directory to store files which contain sensitive information such as MySQL connection details, or other data of yours that is meant to be private and not accessible in a web browser directly. If you want to access the private directory via FTP with your main FTP user, you must specify this remote directory in your FTP program: /private

SFTP stands for SSH File Transfer Protocol. It is an extension of the SSH protocol that allows secure file transfer, management, and access. If the software you are uploading with supports this feature, you can use it to upload files to your account over SFTP on port 22.  For SFTP host, you need to use the hostname of the server where your account is hosted. This information can be found in the left pane of the Control Panel of the hosting account under Server name (your_server.com on the screenshot). Since SFTP requires SSH access, and SSH access is available only to the main Control Panel user, only the main Control Panel user is able to use SFTP to upload files. You can see the name of your main user in the left pane of the Control Panel of the hosting account under "Username" (your_username on the screenshot). In order to upload content over SFTP, SSH access to the account needs to be enabled. You can enable SSH access for the main Control Panel user through the SSH Access section in the Control Panel of the account. Detailed instructions are available in the following article: SSH Access When connecting over SFTP, you can either authenticate with the username and password of the main Control Panel user, or set up key-based authentication. Detailed instructions on how to set up key-based authentication are available in the following article: Key-based SSH authentication

This tutorial provides instructions how to set up a Git remote repository on your hosting server so that you can easily deploy the latest version of your website files. Prerequisites SSH access is enabled in the SSH Access section of the hosting Control Panel. Git is installed on your computer. Example Workspace In this tutorial, the Control Panel and SSH username is example. Therefore, the default root directory for the domain is /home/example/www/www. The server hostname is sXXX.sureserver.com. You should replace these values with the actual values for your account. Set up remote Git repository 1. Connect to the server for your account via SSH. You can follow the instructions in our online manual. 2. The repository should not be accessible via the web. Therefore, you should create it in the private directory on your account. Go to the private directory: cd ~/private Create a directory for the repository and enter that directory: mkdir mywebsite.gitcd mywebsite.git Note: Instead of mywebsite.git, you can use any name you like, but it should end with .git. Create a bare repository and initialize it: git --bare init A bare repository is a repository that is created without a working tree (e.g. the actual files of the project). Note: If you already have a repository for your website, and it was originally created on GitHub after October 2020, you should add the following to the end of the initialization command: "--initial-branch=main". 3. In order for the files to be pushed to the correct location, you need to create a post-receive hook: nano hooks/post-receive Add the following to the file and save it: #!/bin/shGIT_WORK_TREE=/home/example/www/www git checkout -f Note: Replace /home/example/www/www with the location of your live website files. The directory must exist. Give the file executable permissions: chmod +x hooks/post-receive On your local computer 1. If you do not already have a repository for your website on your computer, you can initiate a new repository and add all files in the current directory with the following commands: git initgit add . You should also add your first commit: git commit -m "My website is ready" 2. Now you can add a remote to the repository:git remote add production example@your_server.com:/home/example/private/mywebsite.git Note: The name of the remote is production. You should replace example with your Control Panel/SSH username, your_server.com with the hostname of your server and /home/example/private/mywebsite.git with the location of the git repository. 3. Finally, you can push the website from your local computer to the hosting server:git push production master This command instructs Git to push the current master branch to the production remote. Note: If your original repository was created on GitHub after October 2020, you should replace master with main.

Manual configuration Go to the App Store on your iOS/iPadOS device and search for the FTPManager app. Install the application on your device and then open it. To add a new FTP connection, tap the plus button in the upper-right corner.  Tap on FTP (File Transfer Protocol). The Display Name field is optional, but you may wish to enter a value, so you can recognize the connection in the future. Enter your domain name in the Host Name/IP field, e.g. example.com. Enter 21 in the Port field. Enter a forward slash - / - in the Path field. Tap on Protocol and then select Require explicit FTP over TLS. Tap Back.  Choose Passive as Transfer Mode. Keep UTF8 selected as Charset. Keep the Compatibility Mode option turned off. Specify the FTP login details you want to connect with in the User Name and Password fields. Normally, you would want to connect with your main Control Panel username/password pair. In case you want to connect with an FTP subuser you previously created at your Control Panel's FTP Manager section, you need to specify the login details for that particular user. Tap Save. Tap on the added connection entry to access your account via FTP. Once connected, you will see the list of your files/folders on the server. A limitation of the free version of the FTPManager app is that you can only add a single FTP connection. To edit the existing connection, just swipe left on the entry, and then tap the pencil icon.
