Re: Uploading files using FTP Voyager

With this tutorial, you are going to learn how to upload and download files and folder using FTP Voyager. We will assume that you already have FTP Voyager on your computer, and it is running, but not yet connected to a remote server. You should already have configured it to connect with your web site. If you have not done this, and you need assistance, please see the tutorial: "Configure your web site in FTP Voyager". The main screen of FTP Voyager is two windows. The one on the left is the local host, or your computer. The one on the right is the remote server, or your web site.

Let's begin by connecting to the remote server. Click on the Connect icon, located in the upper left corner. This opens the Site Profile Manager, where you will select your web site from the window on the left by highlighting it. Then click Connect. You have now successfully established an FTP connection between your computer and your web site, and have two open windows. The files on your local computer are displayed in the left window, and the remote server (your web site) files are in the right window.

The first step in uploading a file or folder is to decide where it should go. You should start at public_html/ and navigate out from there to decide where to place the folder/file. When you have decided upon placement, you need to go to your local computer window and select the file(s) you want to upload. Select files by highlighting their names. To select multiple files, hold the CTRL key while selecting the files. When you are done with your selection, you are ready to upload. Click the Upload icon, which is above the local computer window, to start the transfer. When the files are successfully uploaded, you will see them displayed in the remote server window.

To download a file, select a file or files the same way you did to upload. Then click on the Download Icon, which is located above the remote server window. When the download is completed, the file(s) will display in your local computer window.
