This section contains text as it appears in a terminal / command prompt, and we will highlight that text
like this
When we want to show you a command that you have to type and enter, it will be shown like this:
> Hello
This means "type the word 'hello' and press enter".
If we want to illustrate some text that you will have to replace, we will put that text [in square brackets like this].
For example, to indicate that you should type your user name and press enter:
> [your user name]
If you're comfortable working in the Linux terminal, or on Windows, command prompt or PowerShell, you can upload files to our hosting servers via FTP without having to install a separate client application, and without having to use the control panel web interface.
Windows command prompt
Open command prompt (Windows key + R to open the "Run" dialog. Enter cmd and press Enter).
In the command prompt, navigate to the folder where your website files are located. For example, if your files are in a folder called "My website" in "My Documents":
cd "C:\Documents and Settings\[Your Windows User Name]\My Documents\My website"
