How can I upload my website’s content and are there any restrictions? No comments yet

Answer: There are two methods that you can use to upload your website’s content. You can either use the built-in File Manager in the control panel or use your favourite FTP client. In order to reach the File Manager, you should login to your account and follow the steps:

1. Go to Website Manager.
2. Click on File Manager.

You will be forwarded to a complete list of your uploaded files/directories. You should scroll down and find the ‘File Upload’ section – there is a limit 3 uploads at a time using the form.
In case you want to simultaneously upload more files, you can use your favourite FTP client. It is vital that the client supports ‘PASSV’(also referred as ‘passive mode’) and you use the following FTP settings:

1. Ensure that you have enabled PASSV(passive mode) from your FTP client’s configuration.
2. FTP Hostname: All the hostnames that you can use are listed in your control panel’s FTP Manager for your convenience. The FTP Manager is located in the Website Manager section.
3. FTP Username and Password: The FTP users configured for your hosting account are listed in the control panel’s FTP Manager(Website Manager section).

While the paid hosting packages don’t have any upload restictions on file size or type, the free accounts do. The following file types are restricted from uploading on Awardsapce free web hosting – .htacl, .htaclu, .avi, .mov, .mp2, .mp3, .mpeg, .ram, .asf, .quota, .vbs, .shs, .scr, .exe, .cmd, .torrent, .wmv, .wma, .rm, .zip, .rar, .tar, .gz
