FTP Access

To upload templates or any other static files that you want to host on your site, there is FTP access. Any files you upload in the root directory of your FTP site will be accessible at the root of your website. You can also create any number of folders to organize your files.

FTP credentials were issued via e-mail upon sign-up, when your Interface site was provisioned. Any User with Admin levels can also get this information from the Account Center. Log in and chose your Interface project name to see the FTP credentials.

By default, the following is located in the root of your site’s FTP:

• templates – This is where Interface looks for all templates used for rendering Pages. Any files you place in here will not be accessible via a web browser, so your template code is safe from prying eyes.
• restart – This is a special file that allows you to restart Interface, if needed. All you have to do is modify the timestamp of the file. This can usually be done by downloading the file and re-uploading it. If you decide to restart Interface, allow up to 2 minutes for the restart to initiate and complete.
• plugins – You can access controller extensions, helper, and the site config Ruby files that allow you to make limited modifications to Interface.
