CuteFTP is a user-friendly FTP client that provides fast and stable file transfers. If you need to deploy a new website on a Web Hosting instance, or upload, download, update, or back up website files already on the instance, you can use CuteFTP to efficiently perform operations such as uploading, downloading, and creating files.

Step 1: Connect to a Web Hosting instance

Before you begin, ensure you have CuteFTP installed. You can download the tool from the official CuteFTP website. This topic uses CuteFTP 9.0 as an example. The user interface (UI) may vary in other versions.

  1. Obtain the FTP login credentials for your Web Hosting instance.
    1. Log on to the Host Management Console.
    2. Find the target Web Hosting instance and click Manage in the Actions column.
    3. In the navigation pane on the left, click Site Information.
    4. On the Site Information page, find the FTP login credentials in the Account Information section.
      The FTP login credentials include the username, password, and FTP host address.
      Note If you forget your FTP password, you can reset it. For more information, see Reset Passwords for the Host Management Console and FTP.

  2. Start CuteFTP.

    (Optional) If you are using a non-Chinese version of CuteFTP, follow these steps to change the language to Chinese:

    1. In the top menu bar, choose Tools > Global Options.

    2. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Display > Language.

    3. In the Language File: section, select chinese.Ing.

    4. Click OK.

    5. Close and restart CuteFTP.

  3. In the top menu bar, choose File > New > FTP Site.

  4. In the Site Properties dialog box that appears, on the General tab, configure the site parameters.

    The following table describes the main parameters.

    Parameter

    Description

    host address

    Enter the FTP host address.

    username

    Enter the FTP login username.

    password

    For security, the password field displays asterisks (*) instead of the characters you type.

    login method

    Select Normal.

  5. Click the Type tab in the Site Properties dialog box and set the Port (O) to 21.

  6. Click Connect (E) to connect to your Web Hosting instance.

    The CuteFTP interface is displayed.

    The following table describes each area of the interface.

Step 2: Manage website files

After you connect to your Web Hosting instance using CuteFTP, you can view, upload, download, create, or delete website files.

View hidden files

Note

For security reasons, Web Hosting hides some files and directories to prevent accidental deletion. Follow these steps to view them.

  1. In the Site Properties dialog box, click the Actions tab, and then click Filter (F)....

  2. In the Filter Properties tab of the Filter dialog box, configure the settings.

    Use the following settings:

    • Select Enable filtering (E) and Enable server side filtering (server applies filter) (S).

    • In the Remote filters (M) text box, enter -a.

  3. Click OK.

  4. On the Actions tab, click Connect (E).

    After you reconnect, you can view hidden files, such as .bash_logout, .bash_profile, and .bashrc.

    Note

    On Linux-based Web Hosting instances, hidden file names typically start with a period (.).

Upload, download, create, or delete website files

You can perform the following operations:

  • Upload files: In the local pane, select the files to upload, and then double-click them or drag them to the remote pane.

  • Download files: In the remote pane, select the files to download, and then double-click them or drag them to the local pane.

  • Create a file or directory: In an empty area of the remote pane, right-click and select Create Directory.

  • Delete files: Select the files to delete, right-click them, and then click Delete.
