I uploaded the files but my site doesn't display them.

Upload an index. Valid index files: index.html index.htm index.shtml Index.htm Index.html default.htm default.html home.htm home.html

Our servers have Linux and file name is case sensitive. So, InDex.htm or index.HTM is not the same with index.htm.

 

My site is full of 404 errors and broken images.

Firstly, check if the path for the file(s) is correct.

Secondly, file name is case sensitive. Image.gif is not the same with image.gif or image.GIF. These are 3 different things.

 

I encounter many errors, the script say to change file permission.

You can change file permission with your ftp client, in most cases click on Properties.

Also, you can do that with our control panel <---account manager. Click File Manager, select the file and click Set Permission.

 

How to upload my site?

The best solution is a ftp program, check our tools. But you can try File Manager as well <--- via Account Manager.
