How do I upload my ebook to my cpanel

    More pages on site would be better, in that case a SEO friendly url would be nice.

        Upload the book to your website. (Usually, you'll do that via FTP, the same as you upload any file -- HTML, image, etc. -- to your website.)

        The uploaded file name will show on your FTP screen, or whatever you use to view the list of files at your website. If it's a PDF, the URL will be something like:

        http://www.yourwebsite.com/ebookname.pdf

    Hello,
    this is how it works:
    In order to upload something you can use a ftp program or you can directly
    upload it through the cpanel.
    I would recommend a ftp program as it is easier to see all of your files.
    I usually make a separate folder in the website called ebook.
    Put your ebook in the ebook folder,if is pdf this is the way the url should read.
    www.yourwebsite.com/ebook/howto.pdf
    I hope this will help you to get started.

    Something new soon.

        Try this.
        1) Log in to your C panel, Now go to file manager
        2) Once you reach file manager, On the left hand side panel you will find link called public html, click on it
        3) Now you can click on the domain you are looking to upload file to,
        4) Click on it, now look at the top you will find a a icon add folder click on it and name it whatever you want to name it, for illustration we will name it dollar.
        5) Now open your ftp account and go to folder we named dollar in step 4
        6) Now you can upload fine in it, once uploaded ensure you check it by typing the url in browser bar,

          Put it in a zip folder and point your download link to the zip file. That's all you need do. When someone clicks on the link in their browser, it will get downloaded.

          I don't have up to 50 post yet so I
          can't send a PM to you.

          I was able to get step 1 to 3 but i did not
          get step 4.

          Should I create a new folder in step 4 and
          put the ebook inside or should I upload the
          pdf immediadely ?

          and how do I create the URL ?
