How to upload files to your server

Locate the files

Start by going to the folder containing the files to upload.

Supposing the file is in the “pages” sub-folder of the “website” folder: 

cd /website/pages

SFTP

You need to connect to your server using SFTP to upload your files: 

sftp root@(your server IP)

Enter your password to open a connection to your server.

The "put" command

Use the “put” command to load files to your server, specifying the directory in which the files must go: 

put example.html /var/www

The file called “example.html” will have been loaded to the /var/www directory on your server.

You cannot upload a folder directly, but you can upload all of its content: while inside the folder containing the files to be uploaded, log on to your server using SFTP and use the following command to load all files to the folder: 

put *.* /var/www
