# How to upload content with Plesk

#### Uploading Content Using FTP <a href="#uploading_content_using_ftp" id="uploading_content_using_ftp"></a>

To connect to the server using FTP, you need the following information:

* **FTP server address.** The FTP address is your domain name, that is, your site’s Internet address.
* **FTP username.** It is identical to your system user name. To find what your system user name is, go to **Websites & Domains** > **Web Hosting Access**. You will find it under **Username**. You can change your system user name if you want.
* **FTP password.** It is identical to your system user password. If you do not know what your system user password is, go to **Websites & Domains** > **Web Hosting Access**. You can reset the password under **Password**.

You will also require a program called an FTP client. There are many free FTP clients available on the Internet, such as FileZilla or FireFTP. Download and install the client on your computer to connect to the FTP server. Please refer to the FTP client’s instructions for information on how to install and configure it.

To change the FTP account username or password, go to **Websites & Domains** > **Web Hosting Access**.

Then specify new username and password for the **System User**.

#### Uploading Content Using the File Manager <a href="#uploading_content_using_the_file_manager" id="uploading_content_using_the_file_manager"></a>

To upload content, go to **Files**, navigate to the folder to which you want to upload content, click **Upload**, select the file to be uploaded, and click **Open**.

Note that when uploading multiple files it is recommended to add them to an archive, upload the archive, and extract the files to save time. Only ZIP archive files are supported at the present time.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://kb.vimzaa.com/plesk-hosting/getting-started-with-plesk/how-to-upload-content-with-plesk.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
