i know this is not quite right place to post this but I am desperate. Accitentaly I deleated my folder where were all my website files. I still have my files uploaded on CPanel so my question is... HOW TO BRING BACK THOESE FILES TO MY COMPUTER? I know how silly my question is but I started all this web designing mounth ago.

please explain me how can I do this

Hi vpopovic if I understand your question then its real simple to retrieve your files.

If you files are still on the server you will need an ftp client there are many to choose from go to download.com and search for ftp client. Login and download the folder from the server and you will have your files back to your computer.

I hope this help!

ok thanx a lot, i will see what can I do:eek:

i got LeechFTP but have no idea how to use it. Can anybody explain me what values I have to put in "host or url" , "remote directory" etc.

Goto download.com and download LeapFTP. The host is yourdomain.com user is your username and password is your password. Once you have logged in you should see your files. I do not know CPanel's directory structure, but chances are your files are in /web, or /httpdocs or /htdocs.
Hope that helps.

Well, how did you upload your web site? Just do the opposite and download it. :)

With any FTP client, all you should have to enter is the host, user, and password. You should be able to put your domain name for the host.

The remote directory is where to retrieve the files on the server, and the local directory is where to put the files on your computer. Your web site will be in the public_html directory, so you can just put public_html for the remote directory.

thanx for your reply. I used dreamweaver to upload my site. It is just that I am little slow when it cames to this stuff.

In Dreamweaver, when you select all the files you wish to upload and drag them to the server window, it uploads. If you log in, select everything in the public_html folder, and drag it to your local window, it'll download the whole site instead. easy :)

Conversely, selecting everything in the public_html folder and pushing the "get" button at the top of the file window should do much the same thing for you.
