Update webfiles on external server

Hi there
once I have exported my Boostrap studio website to an external server ie Goddady.
When I want to update these files , how is this done?
Thanks in advance

How are you uploading them to GoDaddy? If you’re using Filezilla, just copy the new files/folders over the old ones. As long as they have the same names, the old files will be overwritten by the new ones.

If you’re uploading through GoDaddy’s FTP, you’ll probably have to refer to their help docs. I’m not familiar with GoDaddy’s website hosting interface, but typically you’d upload a zip file containing all your HTML files, the Bootstrap Assets folder, and any other files, to the appropriate root folder on the server (often this folder is named public_html), and then extract the zipped files.

I’d recommend using FileZilla even with GoDaddy. You just have to setup the server login credentials. You have a lot more flexibility with FileZilla. You can easily see what’s on the server, delete, rename, etc. All drag and drop.

If you enable SSH access on your godaddy account and setup sftp in bss. To update your site is just to click the publish button
