To configure and use CuteFTP:
- Launch CuteFTP. The FTP Connection Wizard
opens.
-
- Select your ISP from
the list of Internet Service Providers. If yours is not listed, select Other.
Then, click Next.
- Enter a descriptive

If it has been less than
72 hours since you set up your account, you may need to use
your temporary URL instead of your
domain name. You can find this by logging into SiteControl.
|
- Enter your user name.
This is your Master User name or the user name for the FTP account created
for you in SiteControl.
- Enter your password.
Then, click Next
to continue.
- In the Default
Local Folder field, enter the full path to the folder on your computer
from which you will be transferring your Web site files. Then, click Next.
- Click Finish.
Once CuteFTP establishes a connection to your Web server, the main window
displays your local files and the files in your
/home directory.
You use the main window to transfer your
files to and from your Web server. The main window contains four different
panes:
- Log
pane. Displays the commands you send and the server's responses.
This information enables you to see when transactions have completed and
can assist in troubleshooting.
- Local
pane. Displays the files and folders on your hard drive.
- Remote
pane. Displays the files and folders on the remote server.
- Queue
pane. Displays the files currently being transferred to the server.
If you want to transfer files at a later time, you can store them here temporarily.
