In the window to the right (Remote Site) you will see the files that are on the FTP server and in the left window (Local Site) the files on your local hard drive. Now change the folder in the right window to the domain name you want to publish the website for (for example mindoman.se) and then enter the ‘public_html’ folder.

All files that you want to appear on the web must be in this folder. Select the files you want to publish in the left window and drag them to the right window to upload them to the FTP server.
