How to connect via FTP with MAC OS using iWeb

To upload your website to the cdmon servers, you first need an FTP client. An FTP client is special software that connects to the web server using the FTP communication protocol and allows you to manage the website as if it were Finder. There are many programs that can help you; one of the most popular is FTP iWeb.

 

To connect to the FTP service using a client, you need a username and password, which you can find in the summary of your hosting details in the cdmon control panel.

Once you have the FTP access details, open iWeb from Applications and open the website you want to publish.

Click on the name of the site you want to publish in the sidebar on the left side of the iWeb window.

A Site Publishing Settings window will appear. In the Publish to dropdown menu, select FTP Server.

Enter your site name in the Website Name field.

Optionally, you can enter your email address in the Contact Email field.

In FTP Server Settings you must enter the server details.

1. Server Address: enter your domain name. If the domain does not point to cdmon, use the hosting IP address or the temporary subdomain mialias.net, for example: yourdomain.com.mialias.net
   
2. Username: the hosting FTP username. You can check these details in the hosting information section of your cdmon Control Panel.
3. Password: the FTP user password.
4. Directory/Path: this is the directory where you must upload the content. If it is in the root of the site, you must enter "/web".
5. Protocol: select FTP.
6. Port: by default it is port 21.
   
   If you click Test Connection and the entered details are correct, you should connect successfully.

In the Website URL field, enter the website URL.

Finally, click Publish Site at the bottom of the iWeb window.
