- Publishing Sites (FTP)

If you have the FTP details of the final destination of your site created (ie, the domain name, the FTP user name, password, folder names etc.), you can directly upload your site without any FTP client, using the iScripts EasyCreate 3.2 interface. Enter the Domain Name, the remote directory to which your files are to be uploaded, FTP user name, FTP password etc and click 'Upload'. If the credentials you have provided is correct, your files are directly uploaded to our web server. Depending up on the size and number of the files you have created, the number of images being used and most importantly the internet speed at the time you perform the upload, this operation may take a few minutes. So please be patient while your files are being transferred. Once the upload is finished, you will be displayed the status of your FTP session, with the list of files transferred to your destination server.
You can choose any of the Publish methods and choosing one does not prevent you from selecting the other one. Thus you can directly download your site as ZIP and upload your site using FTP in the same screen.
If you have already published a site, you need not publish it again . You can directly get the files or continue with FTP directly from the 'Edit Site' page.
