Uploading Files to Server Question?

[hyperviperx99]

I'm trying to install a VBulletin Mod, and one of the things I have to do is upload some files to my server. How do I upload all the files at once?

I read this guide- https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=201864

He says:

What does he mean "grab both folders"? I tried to drag the folders, but every time I do that, the browser goes to "Documents and settings" folder, leaving the server URL.

I'm new to VBulletin.

Please help.

You need an FTP program to upload the files... I use a free one, "Core FTP", many others can be found by google.

Once you connect to your domain via the FTP client you can just upload the directories.

I suggest googling for some basic examples of using FTP while your at it.

I do have an FTP program. I just don't know how to put the whole folde instead of individually uploading it.

In the FTP program you have the "upload" arrow or whatever you use to send a file to the ftp site... instead of highlighting a single file, highlight an entire directory on the left (usually) and press your 'upload' button and the whole directory will get copied to the ftp site (on the right usually.)

Thanks Bird,

When I try to highlight the directory on the left, I could never upload the whole folder, or am I doing it wrong?

Here's a screenshot of my server:

Is that an FTP client program or some sort of web page wizard? I've never seen an FTP program that looks like that... I would suggest trying another FTP program because most allow you to upload the whole folder.
