Are you looking to upload files to your Namecheap cPanel using FileZilla FTP? This guide will walk you through the process step by step, making it easy for you to manage your website files efficiently.
FileZilla is a popular FTP client that allows you to transfer files between your computer and your web server. By using FileZilla, you can easily upload, download, and manage files on your website without the need for a complicated interface.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following information ready:
1. Your FTP username and password provided by Namecheap.
2. Your website’s domain name.
3. The FTP server address (usually ftp.yourdomain.com).
Now, let’s get started with uploading files to your Namecheap cPanel using FileZilla FTP:
Step 1: Download and Install FileZilla
First, you need to download FileZilla from the official website (https://filezilla-project.org/) and install it on your computer. FileZilla is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, making it accessible for users on different operating systems.
Step 2: Open FileZilla and Configure Your FTP Connection
Once FileZilla is installed, open the application. You will see a toolbar at the top of the screen with various options. Click on the ‘File’ menu and select ‘Site Manager.’
In the Site Manager window, click on ‘New Site’ and enter a name for your connection (e.g., MyWebsite FTP). Then, enter the following information:
– Host: Enter your FTP server address (e.g., ftp.yourdomain.com).
– Port: Leave this field blank unless specified by your hosting provider.
– Protocol: Select ‘FTP – File Transfer Protocol.’
– Encryption: Choose ‘Use explicit FTP over TLS if available.’
– Logon Type: Select ‘Normal.’
– User: Enter your FTP username provided by Namecheap.
– Password: Enter your FTP password.
Click ‘Connect’ to save your settings and establish a connection to your FTP server.
Step 3: Navigate to Your Website’s Directory
After connecting to your FTP server, you will see two main panels in FileZilla. The left panel displays files on your computer, while the right panel shows files on your web server.
Navigate to the directory on your web server where you want to upload files. This is typically the ‘public_html’ folder, which is the root directory for your website files.
