Sonic.net

Prior to ftp going away ftp was how I maintained my web site which I wrote myself directly in .html code.
I am able to connect to sonic with Filezilla using ftp.sonic.net my username and password on port 21.
I can view several directories on the remote site and the only one I found that has my user name is claimed to be empty by Filezilla. How can I get to my website directory - should I specify the directory in the Host entry on Filezilla or how can I browse to my website home? FWIW I am on an up to date Mac. Thanks!

Hi Rod,

When you connect to ftp.sonic.net (for you, this is using 'hrm' as the username and your Sonic password for the password), there should be a directory called 'public_html' that you can open up. That directory is home to each of your websites (usually there is a dedicated folder for each domain name), so changing/copying files there should change the corresponding website.

Also, as long as there is content in the public_html folder, you can always reach it at the alternate location: *

http://hrm.users.sonic.net/ (if you have other accounts, swap out the 'hrm' before .users.sonic.net with the appropriate username)

* By default, directory listings are turned off, so for example, to access your site, example.com, you would need to add /example.com/ to the end of the URL.

The next time using what failed before I attempted with Filezilla it worked. Thanks.
