How do I upload and edit my files?

You can upload your files through ftp or edit them on the server using SSH. Just use the Modwest username and password you chose when you signed up.

FTP:
Connect to: ftp.modwest.com
Server Directory: /htdocs/www/


SSH:
Connect to: shell.modwest.com


A good ftp program is Ipswitch.com's WS_FTP LE.

Vandyke.com makes pretty good FTP, SSH, and Telnet clients too. Make sure that you are uploading your web pages into your /htdocs/www/ directory so the webserver will serve them.

You can also use scp from either your local Linux box or use WinSCP
(http://winscp.vse.cz/eng/) for secure file transfer.

Mac users will find that Captain FTP  works quite well.

Also the ftp program found in your terminal in OSX is fine if you're on
the cheap.

It is the best FTP program on Mac. In 3.0 version you can copy files
from server to server. It is great!!! :)

Another excellent FTP client (and server) is the open source Filezilla.
