Upload Methods
There are three ways to upload your website files to EGPHP hosting:
Method 1: File Manager (Easiest)
The built-in file manager is the quickest way to upload files without installing any software.
Open File Manager
Log in to EGPNL and click File Manager from the dashboard.
Navigate to Your Domain Folder
Go to /domains/yourdomain.com/public_html (this is your website's root directory).
Upload Files
Click the Upload button and select your files. You can also drag and drop files directly.
Method 2: FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
FTP is ideal for uploading large numbers of files using a dedicated client.
FTP Credentials
- Host: Your domain or server IP
- Port: 21
- Username: Your FTP username (from EGPNL)
- Password: Your FTP password
Using FileZilla (Recommended FTP Client)
Download FileZilla
Get FileZilla from filezilla-project.org and install it.
Connect to Server
Enter your FTP credentials in the Quickconnect bar and click Quickconnect.
Navigate and Upload
On the right side (server), navigate to public_html. Drag files from the left side (your computer) to upload.
Method 3: SFTP (Secure FTP)
SFTP encrypts your connection for better security. Recommended for sensitive data.
SFTP Credentials
- Host: Your domain or server IP
- Port: 22
- Protocol: SFTP - SSH File Transfer Protocol
- Username: Your SSH/SFTP username
- Password: Your account password
File Structure
Understanding your hosting directory structure:
/domains/yourdomain.com/
├── public_html/ ← Your website files go here
│ ├── index.html ← Homepage
│ ├── css/ ← Stylesheets
│ ├── js/ ← JavaScript files
│ └── images/ ← Image files
├── logs/ ← Access and error logs
└── ssl/ ← SSL certificatespublic_html folder. Files outside this folder won't be accessible via web browser.
Common Issues
Connection Refused
- Check that you're using the correct host and port
- Verify your username and password
- Ensure FTP is enabled in EGPNL
Permission Denied
- Check file/folder permissions (usually 644 for files, 755 for folders)
- Ensure you're uploading to the correct directory
Slow Upload Speed
- Use SFTP or FTP instead of File Manager for large uploads
- Compress files into ZIP before uploading
- Check your local internet connection
