Uploading into File Manager

[PabloBJJ]

Hi,

I am trying to build my website. I have written all my code in Visual Code. Am I able to upload everything I have done in VC to Infinity Free so it effectively builds the website with the work I have already done?

You can, but not with the File Manager.

How to upload files with FTP

The best and most reliable way to upload files is to use FTP. To upload files with FTP, you will need to following: Your FTP username Your FTP password The FTP hostname An FTP client You can find your FTP username, password and hostname in the client area under the FTP Details section. The FTP password is the same as your hosting account and control panel password, which is different from the password for the client area. If you like videos better then text guides, you can find one at the bot…

It depends a little bit on how your website actually works.

Since you’re referring to “it effectively builds the website”, please note that we do not provide any command line access or Node.js with our hosting, so if you are using something like React, you cannot build the website on our servers. However, you could use Git, along with a CI system (like GitHub Actions or GitLab CI), to automatically build the project whenever you push a new commit, and upload the generated files over FTP.

If you don’t actually need any build steps and just need to upload the source code to the server, you could either upload the files from your computer with an FTP client of your choice. Perhaps there is a way to publish the website automatically from VS Code too, but I couldn’t find any clearly recommended plugin to do that.
