SecureFX
SecureFX is a 32-bit
Windows® Sockets FTP client. It uses standard FTP, or one of two secure transfer options
(Recommended): FTP over SSH2 to use an FTP server, or SFTP, which uses the secure
file transfer capability of your SSH2 server. The SecureFX interface allows you drag and drop
files, resume transfers, and manage multiple connections and transfers.
Specific instructions about how to use SecureFX are included below:
- Open SecureFX and click the New Session icon on the toolbar. The New Session wizard
will display.
- Select a secure server connection from the pulldown menu. It is highly recommended you
choose either a FTP over SSH2 or SFTP connection. Click Next.
- Enter either the hostname or the IP address, and click Next.
- Enter your secure login name as the User ID, and your login password as the
Password. Click Next.
- Leave the initial directory blank to log into your default directory.
- Enter a Session Name and click Finish. The Connect screen displays.
- Highlight the Session and click Connect to login to your server.
- Once a connection is established, two levels will appear in your window. The top level
displays files on your computer while bottom level represents directories and files on your
Virtual Private Server.
- You will want to navigate to the www/htdocs or usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs
folder on your Virtual Private Server. This is the directory where you will store your web
content.
- Select the appropriate files or directories you want to transfer from your computer to your
Virtual Private Server by selecting them with your mouse. You can select more than one by
holding down the shift key.
- Once these files are selected you can hold down your right mouse button, and drag
the files to the appropriate directory. Be sure that all HTML documents and cgi script are
transferred in ASCII mode. Graphics should be transferred in Binary format.
