How do I upload a file from C drive to the Server?

Hello,

How do I (what is the command) upload a zipped file from my c drive (on PC) to my hosting sever (linux)?

Thanks!

Hi,

This should help ;)

Its actually pretty simple (but no point giving an example, when there is a good tutorial around like that :))

Cheers

Thanks Andy, but I think you misunderstood. It is not for users to upload files on my server. But I want to just transfer some data from my pc to my server. Let's say I just have some data that I downloaded from somewhere and is stored on my C drive and I want to transfer that to my web server. How do I do that?

Thanks!

Seems, that you need an FTP-Programm.
If you use the Firefox Browser I can recommend the Add-on FireFTP.
But you need to know your Login Information of your server. Put them into FireFTP and then you can upload your data via FireFTP.
Hope that helps...

Thanks and I am aware of FTP and have used fireftp but I need to upload files to the root folder of the server (which does not have an FTP account). I thought there was a way to do this without using FTP on linux via SSH and if so, I would like to know.

Hi,

AFAIK, there is no way to do what your asking for.
