In short: Use SiteWorx File Manager for browser-based uploads or SFTP when shell access is enabled. Upload public website files to the domain's html directory.
Use File Manager
- Sign in to SiteWorx and open File Manager.
- Select the required domain and log in to its file area.
- Open the
htmldirectory. - Upload files or a compressed archive.
- If using an archive, extract it and confirm the site files are directly inside the intended document root.
Use SFTP where available
SFTP runs over SSH and encrypts both credentials and file data. Use the hostname, port, username and authentication method supplied for the account. Shell/SFTP access may depend on the hosting plan and account permissions.
FTP accounts and directory limits
SiteWorx can create FTP accounts under Hosting Features > FTP > Accounts. Restrict each account's home directory to the smallest area it needs. Prefer an encrypted method; plain FTP exposes credentials and content to the network.
Protect configuration files: Do not place backups, private keys or exported databases in a publicly downloadable directory. Remove installation archives after use.
After uploading
- Check the correct index file loads.
- Confirm file ownership and permissions are not excessively broad.
- Test HTTPS, forms and application links.
- Remove obsolete files only after taking a required backup.
