Uploading Templates & Other Files

To upload templates and other files to the web server, log onto the server with your favorite FTP program using the login instructions you should have received via email. The following folders should already be installed on your site:

  • Templates: template files used to display pages. Be sure not to remove 'default.cfm' or 'master.cfm'. You may edit those files, but do not delete them!

  • Images: images available for webmaster to add to pages

  • CustomDisplays: the equivalent of server-side includes for static elements such as headers & footers

  • CustomModules: custom ColdFusion code used to power any custom features your site may have

You can add additional folders as you wish to organize files other than templates, custom modules and custom displays. Those files must remain in the folders provided.
