What alternatives do I have to using FTP?In addition to FTP, you can also use the "webdisk" feature that comes with Vimar's Webmail Service, or you can use a web-based content management system to update your web site. You can also directly modify files on the web server using SSH and Linux commands if you prefer to (recommended for advanced computer users only). How do I use FTP to update my web site hosted on Vimar's servers?Regardless of your choice of FTP software, you'll need to know the server name, your username, and your password.
