Full Version: uploading file above httpdocs folder?

Guys, I'm very inexperienced, so forgive me if this is in the wrong forum or if I'm not making a lot of sense here.

I am trying to upload a text file to one of my vhosts "clintonherman.com". I have been instructed to not upload to httpdocs, but to the folder above this (I guess the root). I've tried using FTP to move (even logining in using my IP), but every time I try to upload the file, I am told I do not have permissions.

I've also been told that I have to SSH in using putty, but I don't know how to do this. I have putty and psftp, but I don't know what to do.

Can someone tell me how to do get this file to this folder?

Much thanks,
Clint

You need to ssh to that directory and verify if the OWNER of the directory and the files in it are from the same user you are using in your FTP, If not, change it with # chown username:sitenumber file.
