Q. It's not letting me upload my files what's wrong?
A. Make sure you are uploading to the right web directory which is the public_html folder.
Q. Why doesn't my ftp password change when I change my Cpanel password?
A. Please allow 24 hours for your FTP password to sync with your Cpanel password.
Q. I uploaded my files but still see your page. Why?
If our Welcome page, index.shtml, has not been replaced by another
index page, then anyone going to domainname.com will still see the
welcome page instead of some other home page. This is the order in
which the web server looks for a page to put up as the "home" page:
default.htm -> index.phtml -> index.php -> index.cgi ->
index.shtml -> index.shtml -> welcome.cgi -> welcome.html
-> index.htm
Just delete the index.shtml file and anything after it in this list
will then come up automatically. Notice that "home.html" is NOT on the
list and so will not show up as your home page. You would need to
rename it.
Q. How can I upload my site?
Unless you have or will be utilizing Frontpage Extensions on your site,
you can use the File Manager located in Your Control Panel to view all
the directories and files in your account, as well as change
permissions for directories and files, create directories, create and
edit files, and upload files from your hard drive to your account. You
may also use any kind of ftp client.
