How to connect via FTP using FileZilla

 
To upload your website to the contracted hosting service, you must use an FTP client program. There are many programs that can help you; one of the most popular is FileZilla.
 
 
Connecting to the FTP service through a client requires a username and password, which you can find in the summary of your hosting details in the cdmon control panel.
 
 
 
1- Download and install FileZilla
  • Go to the official FileZilla website: Download FileZilla.
  • Select the appropriate version for your operating system (Windows, Mac, or Linux) and follow the instructions to install the program.
 
2. Configure FileZilla
  • Open FileZilla.
 
 
  • In the top menu bar, go to "Edit" and select "Options".
  • Within the options, access "FTP" and select "Passive transfer mode":
 
 
  • Note: If you have trouble connecting, change the transfer mode to "Active".
 
3. Connect to your hosting
  • At the top of the screen, enter the following details:
    • Server: The domain associated with the hosting, or if you do not have the domain available, you can enter the IP address or the redirection mialias.net.
    • Username: The FTP user, available in the cdmon control panel.
    • Password: Copy and paste the FTP user password, making sure not to include any spaces.
    • Port: FTP is the protocol you must always use to connect to the hosting. By default it is 21. If you have SFTP enabled, the port will be 22.
 
 
  • Click "Quickconnect".
 
4. Upload files to the server
  • Once connected, you will see two windows:
    • Left: Files on your computer.
    • Right: Files on your hosting account, where you will see the WEB folder.
 
 
  • To upload your website, select the files and directories in the left window and drag them to the WEB folder in the right window.
 
5. Important considerations
  • The main file in the web folder must be named "index". This file can have multiple extensions, but the most commonly used are "index.php" and "index.html".
  • You can create subfolders inside WEB, and it is recommended that each one has its own index.html file to maintain an organized file structure.
