This guide will show you how to upload your webpages to our services.
We will be using FileZilla for this purpose, as it supports all major desktop operating systems (Windows, Linux, macOS), and functionality is similar between them.
Obtain the FileZilla Client:
Once installed and opened, go to "File" > "Site Manager..." and click "New site."
Enter the following details:
invotek.net"We have provided your private key file with your setup confirmation email. The name of this key file can be found in the text document, labelled "SSH private key."
Extract this file and use "Browse..." to navigate to the key file. You may need to select "All files" within your file explorer.
This filetype is not supported by FileZilla by default. Select "Yes" to generate a new converted file.
You will be prompted for a password - this is provided in the text file, labelled "SSH private key passphrase."
You may now use the newly generated .ppk file as your SSH private key for FileZilla.
You will not need to enter these details again. To connect to your web host, simply select your new site within Site Manager and click "Connect."
Trust the host by pressing "OK." You will be prompted for a password.
Use the same details within the provided text file, labelled "SSH private key passphrase."
After this, you should be connected to your web host. You can right click a file to either upload or download files to/from your web host.
The webroot directory (used to serve your files) is provided in the text file from your setup confirmation email, labelled "Webroot directory." You can navigate to this directory on the remote site, and upload files there to serve them from your domain.
Assuming domain of example.com for demonstration purposes:
Files will likely be served from webroot directory /var/www/example.com/.
Any file with a name of index.html will be served by default when visiting https://example.com/.
