XF 1.3 How to export from computer to FTP

[Blue chummer]

Hello
I have XF on my computer using Xaamp and now need to migrate it to the hosting company's FTP Cpanel.

What is the easiest way ? thanks

Log in to cPanel and select the file manager icon.
Then copy all of the files from the installation on your computer to the desired location on your server.
Or you could also do it via FTP.

You will also need to export the database and import that to a database instance.

This guide more or less covers it: http://xenforo.com/community/resources/how-to-duplicate-a-live-site-to-use-as-a-test-site.2792/

Thanks Brogan . I will look at that now . I guess I am doing the opposite of the guide I am duplicating a live site from a test site. On xaamp where would the database be ?

Typically here: http://localhost/phpmyadmin/index.php

thanks Brogan . I found the directories in my localhost thanks

Ok I have accessed my file manager , here is a screen shot below on the left


where would I upload into ?

And Would I upload only my "community" file from xaamp from my computer as well as my directories from local host ?

thanks. First time I have ever seen this stuff.

You will need to upload all of the files from your localhost installation directory to the directory on your server, depending on where you want it installed.
If you want the URL on your server to be in the root, then that is more than likely going to be www.

thanks Brogan
Ok I will upload using my file manager to the "www" catagory -cgi-bin on my cpanel ftp.

when I press the upload button it only lets me upload 1 file at a time. It wont let me upload the whole C:\xampp\htdocs\community file.

Am I in the right place?

Either use FTP and drag and drop or, preferably, zip it up and extract it on the server.
