### Publishing a Site Through FTP

To upload your site through FTP:

1. Connect to the server with an FTP client program, using FTP account credentials your provider gave you.

   Enable the passive mode if you are behind a firewall.

2. Upload files and directories that should be accessible through HTTP protocol to the `httpdocs` directory, and files/directories that should be transferred securely over SSL protocol to the `httpsdocs` directory.
3. Place your CGI scripts into the `cgi-bin` directory.
4. Close your FTP session.
