	FTP is the recommended way to upload the files you have created for your website to our server. In general, FTP, both as a command-line function and as utility, is more reliable than uploading files via your web browser. This is because does it not have many restrictions on file sizes that web browsers have, in addition to the FTP client being able to better handle interrupted connections to avoid data corruptions. It is also a useful tool in making files available to friends, family, or clients without sending bulky attachments via email.

	~~:In most cases your hostname will be your domain name. So if your domain name is example.com your hostname will be '''ftp.example.com'''~~
	~~:If your domain is not pointing to XMission servers and you are developing your site, follow the instructions below.~~
