How to Use CuteFTPCuteFTP is my favourite File Transfer client. I have been using this software for more than a decade now. CuteFTP is compatible with both Windows-based and MAC-based machines, it is easy to use and above all the page you are reading currently was also uploaded using CuteFTP software.

Steps To Upload Files On Website With CuteFTP

To upload your files on a web server using CuteFTP you need to obtain the following information from your web host.

  • Host Address: e.g. ftp.example.com
  • UserName: e.g. PlainTips.com
  • Password: e.g. xxxxxxxxxxx

Once you have this information, open the CuteFTP software and fill these required fields as shown in the snapshot below;
