Plesk offers two methods for uploading content to your domains:
- Uploading content using FTP, which requires an FTP client to connect to the server and upload your content.
- Uploading content using the File Manager, a web interface provided by Plesk that allows you to upload and edit content.
01.Uploading content using FTP
To connect to the server using FTP, you need the following information:
FTP server address – The FTP address is your domain name, that is, your site’s Internet address.
FTP username – It is identical to your system user name. To find what your system user name is, go to Websites & Domains > Web Hosting Access. You will find it under Username. You can change your system user name if you want.
FTP password – It is identical to your system user password. If you do not know what your system user password is, Go to Websites & Domains > Web Hosting Access. You can reset the password under Password.
You will also need a program called an FTP client. There are many free FTP clients available on the internet, such as FileZilla or FireFTP. Download and install the client on your computer to connect to the FTP server. Please refer to the instructions provided by the FTP client for information on how to install and configure it.
To change the FTP account username or password, Go to Websites & Domains > Hosting & DNS > Web Hosting Access.
Then specify new username and password for the System User.
02.Uploading Content Using the File Manager
To upload content, go to File manager, navigate to the folder to which you want to upload content, click Upload, select the file to be uploaded, and click Open.
Note : It is recommended to upload multiple files in an archive format, such as ZIP, to save time. Currently, Plesk only supports ZIP archive files. Once the archive is uploaded, you can then extract the files.
To download a file, go to Files, navigate to the location of the file you want to download and select Download from the menu.
To compress files, go to Files, navigate to the location of the file or folder you want to compress, select the checkbox next to it, and click Archive > Add to Archive.
To extract files from an archive, go to Files, select the checkbox next to the file you want to extract, and click Archive > Extract Files.
To edit files, go to Files, navigate to the location of the file you want to edit, and do either of the following:
- To edit the file in the code editor, click the dropdown icon next to the file you want to edit, and select Edit in Code Editor from the menu.
- To edit the file in the HTML editor, click the dropdown icon next to the file you want to edit, and select Edit in HTML Editor from the menu.
- To edit the file in the text editor, click the dropdown icon next to the file you want to edit, and select Edit in Text Editor from the menu.
