Answer:

You need to go to the Global configuration:

and then change the FTP information:

Make sure you press apply/save to save your changes.

ftp – I uploaded changes to my site, but they are not displaying online

If uploaded correctly, changes made to your website will display immediately. There is not a waiting period for the server to display your changes (i.e. – the server does not cache anything). The only thing you may need to do is click the refresh button in your web browser in order for it to reload and display your new pages.

If you are making changes to your primary domain, please make sure you uploaded your changes to the www folder in your account. Anything uploaded outside of the www folder will not display on the web. By default, your primary domain will always point to the www folder for it’s content.

If you are making changes to one of your extra domains, please make sure you uploaded your changes to the correct folder for that domain. If you are unsure which folder a domain points to, please go to the domain section of your control panel and click on the link that says “List Extra Domains”.

If you continue to have problems, please let us know the name of the file that you are trying to modify and where it is located inside of your account. Please give me a specific example of a change you made to the file so we can tell the difference between the new and old version of the file.
