To upload your website to the cdmon servers, you need an FTP client. An FTP client is special software that connects to the web server using the FTP communication protocol and allows you to manage the website as if it were Finder. In this case, the FTP client is Cyberduck.
Once you have the connection details, you must download the FTP client from the following address if you do not already have it installed:
On this website you will find a section to download the software, which is a free and open-source FTP client. Once installed and opened, the program will display the following screen:
Clicking on the New Connection button will display the following screen:
From the dropdown menu, select the option FTP (File Transfer Protocol).
Server: enter the domain name, for example, domain.com. If the domain does not point to cdmon, use your hosting IP address or the temporary subdomain, for example: domain.com.mialias.net
Username and password: the FTP username and password. You can check them in the cdmon Control Panel, under hosting management.
Add to Keychain: if you select this option, the username and password will be saved in the operating system, so you will not need to enter them again in the future.
With the Connect button, you will connect to the server. If all the details are correct, you will see the file list and be able to perform the tasks you need.
When uploading a website, keep in mind that the main file in the web folder must be named "index"; this file can have multiple extensions, but the most commonly used are index.htm, index.html, or index.php.
