How can i publish my Website with FTP?

Updated this week

With FTP (File Transfer Protocol), you can easily and conveniently upload your website to the Webland server.

Follow these steps to set up the connection.


How to Set Up the Connection

  1. Download an FTP Program
    If you don’t have an FTP client yet, we recommend FileZilla.
    Download it here:

  2. Install FileZilla
    Install the program according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

  3. Start FileZilla
    Launch FileZilla on your computer.

  4. Enter Your FTP Credentials

    • Server: Your domain name without www (e.g. yourdomain.ch)

    • Username: The username from your access confirmation (e.g. www123)

    • Password: The corresponding password from your access confirmation

    • Port: 21 for unencrypted FTP connections

    Click Connect to establish the FTP connection.

Note:
You can manage your FTP users in the System Configurator.


Upload Your Files

Once connected:

  • The left side shows your local files

  • The right side shows your server files

Simply drag and drop your website files from left to right to upload them.

Important:

  • For Linux hostings, upload your files to the www directory so they are visible online.

  • For Windows hostings, you can upload files directly to the home directory.

You can find more details in the FileZilla Guide.


Technical Note

TLS resumption (resuming secure connections) is currently not supported on Windows servers.
If FileZilla displays a warning, you can safely check the box to continue with a secure encrypted connection.
