Use FTP or SFTP to upload website files to your webspace. In Virtual X you create accounts and can restrict each one to a specific directory. For new accounts we recommend SFTP on port 22 because all data is encrypted during transfer.
Steps
- 1 Click "FTP" on the left, then "New FTP account".
- 2 Choose a username, for example webmaster, select a home directory such as htdocs/ and set a password.
- 3 Save. The account is active immediately.
- 4 Connect with an FTP client such as FileZilla and drag files into the webroot directory.
