FTP or file transfer protocol is a simple and fast way to upload files from your computer to your website.<\/p>\n<h3>What is FTP?<\/h3>\n<p>FTP stands for File transfer protocol. With FTP, you can transfer files from your computer to your website hosting account.<\/p>\n<p>Are you thinking about the media uploader in WordPress admin area? Yes you can easily upload the files such as images, video, audio, PDF and so on using it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So, why do you need FTP?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>FTP is required to manually upload files in WordPress that sometimes might not work due to an error on your site.<\/p>\n<p>Basically, FTP isn\u2019t required to upload files at all. Images can be easily uploaded from WordPress admin area. Moreover, you can upload plugins and themes from WordPress itself.<\/p>\n<p>But, sometimes a plugin\u2019s or theme\u2019s file needs to be uploaded manually for WordPress troubleshooting purposes and fixing the common WordPress errors.<\/p>\n<h3>Using FTP to Upload WordPress Files<\/h3>\n<p>At first, download and install a FTP client on your machine. FTP client is an app which is required to connect to your website and transfer files using the FTP protocol.<\/p>\n<p>Below are some of the most popular FTP clients that you can install:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>FileZilla (Windows, Mac, Linux | Free)<\/li>\n<li>WinSCP (Windows | Free)<\/li>\n<li>Cyberduck (Mac | Free)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In this tutorial, we will be using FileZilla but you can use any other FTP client as per your preference.<\/p>\n<h3>Steps to Connect To Your WordPress Site Using FTP<\/h3>\n<p>1. After opening the<strong> FTP software<\/strong>, you will be prompted for connecting to your website using your FTP login credentials. The FTP account information can also be found in your cPanel dashboard of hosting account.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9637\" src=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ftp-accounts-min.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"887\" height=\"211\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ftp-accounts-min.png 887w, https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ftp-accounts-min-300x71.png 300w, https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ftp-accounts-min-768x183.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 887px) 100vw, 887px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In case you don\u2019t get the login credentials, contact your hosting provider to get this information.<\/p>\n<p>2.

Browse <strong>Local<\/strong> <strong>site<\/strong> to locate the files on your computer that need to be uploaded to your website. Next, right click on the file and select <strong>Upload<\/strong> from the menu.<\/p>\n<p>Now, FileZilla will transfer the file from your computer to your WordPress site.<\/p>\n<p>But, WordPress needs certain files and folders in specific locations for smooth functioning. This indicates you that you shouldn\u2019t just upload a file anywhere. Find the location to upload a file in your WordPress site.<\/p>\n<p>8. For example, you want to upload a plugin manually to your WordPress website. First you need to download the plugin to your computer.<\/p>\n<p>Then unzip the plugin file. Inside the zip file, you will get the plugin folder. WordPress checks for plugins in the <strong>\/wp-content\/plugins\/ folder<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>So, first go to <strong>\/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/strong> folder in the <strong>Remote<\/strong> <strong>site<\/strong> column. Then upload the plugin folder from your computer to your website.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9642\" src=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/upload-local-site-min.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"667\" height=\"327\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/upload-local-site-min.png 667w, https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/upload-local-site-min-300x147.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After uploading the plugin, visit the plugins page inside your WordPress admin area to activate the plugin.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-9645\" src=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/activate-plugin-min-1024x191.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"191\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/activate-plugin-min-1024x191.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/activate-plugin-min-300x56.png 300w, https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/activate-plugin-min-768x143.png 768w, https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/activate-plugin-min.png 1327w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In the same way, if you want to upload a premium theme to your website, it is needed to first download and unzip the theme folder on your computer.
