<div align=justify>Suppose you have created a site and want to upload it to the web server for it to become available for public. The best way to upload site is via FTP client. An FTP Client is software designed to transfer files back-and-forth between two computers or FTP servers over the Internet using File Transfer Protocol (FTP). It needs to be installed on your computer or there may be some already built-in FTP client in your operating system.

There are numerous FTP clients available on the net. One of the most popular is Filezilla (http://filezilla-project.org/).

The classic FTP Client has a two-pane design. The pane on the left displays the files on your computer and the pane on the right displays the files on the remote computer/server. FTP clients are easy to use. You just need to drag the files from the left pane to the right one or highlight a file and click one of the direction arrows located between the panes.

Additional features of the FTP Client include: multiple file transfer; a queuing utility; the scheduling feature; an FTP find utility; a synchronize utility; and for the advanced user, a scripting utility. 

Once you are connected to the FTP server, move your site files to ''public_html'' folder. If everything is done properly, your site should appear online.
