1,038 PointsCyberduck to Dreamhost to NO WHERE
I'm working through the program and I'm trying to FTP my files. I have have dreamhost account now and purchased the cyberduck FTP client. I'm having trouble uploading my site to the web. First I had trouble with creating a bookmark for my FTP, but I was able to do that. Then I tried to turn it into an SFTP and it wouldn't work.
Now, through, FTP (the one that wasn't recommended) I've been able to upload my files but it's not working at all. Now I'm stuck.

13,160 PointsIf you are having issues with a hosting account that is not on one of your servers, the best I can give is to contact their customer service. They should be able to walk you through the process. They aren't all that different and there are many text editors that once you input the appropriate FTP credentials you can upload your files directly from there. Best of luck.

Using FTP is dangerous, it could allow someone to access your account and vandalize/infect your site.

1,038 PointsThats awesome! Thank you so much! When I load up the fill do I just have to put them all in one file or something. I've loaded up everything I have but when I go to the site nothing happens. It's just a page that says coming soon.
