To upload your site through FTP:

1. Connect to the server with an FTP client program, using FTP account credentials your provider gave you. The FTP address should be ftp://your-domain-name.com, where your-domain-name.com is your site's Internet address.

   Enable the passive mode if you are behind a firewall.

2. Upload files and directories that should be accessible through HTTP protocol to the httpdocs directory, and files/directories that should be transferred securely over SSL protocol to the httpsdocs directory.
3. Place your CGI scripts into the cgi-bin directory.
4. Close your FTP session.

To review or change the permissions set for files and directories:

Go to Home > File Manager.

The permissions are represented as three sets of symbols, for example, 'rwx rwx r--'. The first set tells what the owner of the file or directory can do with it; the second tells what the user group, the file or directory belongs to, can do with the file or directory; the third set indicates what other users (the rest of the world, i.e. Internet users visiting a site) can do with the file or directory. R means the permission to read the file or directory, W means the permission to write to the file or directory, and X means the permission to execute the file or look inside the directory.

To modify permissions for a file or directory, in the Permissions column, click the respective hyperlink representing the set of permissions. Modify the permissions as desired and click OK.
