Easy Way to Make a Profitable Blog Part 9 : Manual Uploading

OK, We’ve done with Fantastico, …. and now, we will discuss on how to upload manually.

As I said earlier we need an FTP client software (although we can upload via file manager on cpanel but will take more time, and we have to be careful in organizing the files). Download the FTP client software from filezilla at http://filezilla-project.org/ and then install it on your PC/laptop.

The second step is go to http://wordpress.org/ and go ahead download the current wordpress version ( by the time I write this post, the most current version is Wordpress 2.6.3 ) to your PC in any folder on our PC/Laptop or right at our desktop. I suggest we download the zip file. Then we’re gonna be unzipped it and upload the files to our server using FTP.

Open our FTP software that we have installed, on the upper left corner click “File” and on drop down menu, choose site manager. SInce this is our first time using this, on the site manager box, click “new site” button and enter our ftp host name (ussually ftp.yourdomain.com) and then keep the servertype at FTP, then your logon type to normal, then enter we username and password (the same username and password we use to access cpanel). That’s it, click OK and then connect. We will be taken to this page :

Ok, we’ve been connected to our server using ftp, now what? look at pictures below, and I’ll describe the next step :

So, we’ve inside the public_html box, right click on that box and make a new folder name, this folder name is our addon domain name (http://www.yourdomainname1.com) . In my case, I upload wordpress files of “smartmoneymakingwebsite.com” to the root folder.

Ok, after this, go to our lefthand side box of the filezilla and locate the wordpress files (unzipped files) that we have downloaded earlier.

After we find that folder, left click on that folder, hold your left button and drag the files to the public_html lower box, or to the public_html folder on upper block, just like we do drag and drop on our local PC.

Then wait for the file transfer to be completed, that’s it, we have uploaded our wordpress files.

Are we done and ready to use our blog? not yet, we have to configure several files and databases. Don’t worry it’s pretty easy …. kid stuff! I mean it.

So we will do that on my next post
