| CuteFTP by Globalscape is an easy to use ftp program that you can set up quickly. You can download an evaluation version of the software here. Here are instructions for getting CuteFTP set up to upload and download files. |
| |
| 1. Once you have downloaded and installed CuteFTP, launch the program from your Programs menu or desktop shortcut. From the Site Manager window, click on the New button and select FTP Site. |
|
|
| |
| 2. Under the General tab fill out the following information: Under Label, create a name to call your FTP site. Under Host Address, fill in the address of your site. This takes the form of ftp.yourdomain.com, where yourdomain is replaced by the domain name you signed up for; we use ftp.mobiusdonut.com as an example. Under Username and Password, enter in the user name and password you were assigned when you signed up with Modoweb. Review your information–once you are sure it is all correct, hit the Connect button. |

| 3. You are now connected to your FTP server. The left panel shows local files on your computer and the right panel shows remote files on your FTP server. In the right (remote) panel, double-click the public_html folder to open it. All files associated with your website are placed in this folder. |
|
|
| |
| 5. To upload files and folders to the remote FTP server, simply select them in the left panel and click on the green upload button in the top toolbar (the upward facing arrow). You may also drag and drop files from the left panel to the right panel to upload. |
|
|
| |
| 6. To delete files or folders from the remote FTP server, select the file or folder and click on the Delete icon on the toolbar (the red X). You will receive a confirmation window asking if you are sure that you want to delete the file. That’s it! You now have the basic skills you need to upload and download files to and from your FTP server. For a more detailed walkthrough of CuteFTP’s features, see Globalscape’s support page. |
