    Using SFTP File Manager in your control panel

    With our web hosting packages, you can use SFTP to upload the files to your website. In this article you'll learn how to upload the files of your website using the File Manager in your control panel.

    If you want to use SFTP software instead, we recommend using our tutorials for Filezilla or Cyberduck.


    Open SFTP File Manager

    Log in to the control panel and click 'Shared Hosting' in the menu. Next, select your domain below 'Products'.

    In the overview, click 'File Manager' on the right side of the screen.

    Click on SFTP filemanagement



    You will now see an overview of the folders of the website(s) that are present on your web hosting package. This overview is the home folder.

    Manage your files

    To add files to the website that is on your main domain (in our example transiptutorials.com), open the 'www' folder.

    To add files to websites that are on subdomains, open the 'subsites' folder. If you have created subdomains on your web hosting package, you will be able to provide the subdomains with content using this folder.

    To upload files and folders for your website, simply drag and drop them to the folder you want to upload them to. We will now explain which features 'File Manager' has to offer.


    The different features of SFTP file management

    The following buttons are always displayed at the bottom of the screen:
