There are a few ways to do this, it really just depends on your preference.

1. File Manager: Once you have logged into the Website Management area (Control Panel), (you can do this by going to: http://www.yourdomain.ca:2082 and entering you username and password) click on the icon called "File Manager". This will pop up a second window which lists the directory structure as well as file management options. Click on the Public_HTML folder icon on the left hand side of the screen, this will display all files/directories in the HTML root folder. The Public_HTML folder is where you need to put all your html files which you want the general public to be able to view (ie your website). You can upload files to the HTML directory or subdirectory by clicking on the "Upload Files" icon. This will display another window where
you can select which files to upload. Once you click Upload, the files will be uploaded to the current directory.

2. FTP: You can set up an FTP link to the site by typing into your
Internet Explorer Address path: ftp://username@yourdomain.ca - this will pop-up a window prompting you to enter your password. Once the password has been accepted you can then browse like you would in Windows. Just double click on the Public_HTML directory then drag and drop (or cut and paste) all the html files of the site into the window.

You can also use other FTP programs to upload your website, we recommend CuteFTP as a good alternative to Internet Explorer.

3. Frontpage: If you are developing the site in Frontpage, you can
publish the frontpage website directly to the server, you can do this by entering the FTP details into the Frontpage settings.

4. Dreamweaver: You need to read the dreamweaver documentation as some dreamweaver versions can use slightly differing methods for uploading your site.

5. Other FTP program.  There are plenty of free FTP applications available which can make life a little easier to upload your website files. Check out our downloads section to see what FTP program we recommend!

Of all the above options, we would recommend either the FTP or File Manager
option. Once you have uploaded the site into the WWW root directory, just
ensure that there is a page called index.htm or index.html - this page
will be the one that is the default page for the site. (or change the index page settings within the Control Panel)
