Uploading files to MCCC Main Sites

1. Open FileZilla and navigate to File 🠒 Site Manager… (Ctrl+S)

2. Create When the Site Manager window opens, create a new entry under My Sites by clicking pressing the New site button

3. Fill in site information on the General tab. Use SFTP for transferring files to Acquia Cloud. Use your SSH key (.pkk format) for connecting to the server.

4. When site information is filled out, click .

5. Set a name for the entry e.g. mcccmain prod, then fill in the fields:

   1. Protcol: SFTP - SSH File Transfer Protocol

   2. Host: web-35311.prod.hosting.acquia.com

   3. Port: N/A

   4. Logon Type: Key file

   5. User: mcccmain.prod

   6. Key file: Browse to your Acquia Cloud SSH key file, make sure it’s in .ppk format.

6. After everything is filled out, press the Connect button to initiate a connection to the server.

7. Click Press OK if the Unknown host key prompt appears. If you set a passphrase for your SSH key, you will enter it at the Enter password prompt.

8. Once connection is successful to the web server, you will see a listing of folders. Depending on what web server you’ve connected to, the listing of folders will usually be different. My screenshot shows Acquia Cloud MCC Main Production folders.

9. Continuing with the production MCC Main sites, click the prod folder.

10. You will see a new listing of folders (backups, db_control, files). From here, click the sites folder.

11. The next listing of folders shows the Acquia Cloud MCC Main production site folders. As an example, I’ll demonstrate the process of uploading a file to district. Click the district folder.

12. The next folder listing will have files and files-private folders. Click the files folder. 

13. After you navigate inside the files folder, there will be a large listing of both folders and files. District has A LOT of files and folders. If there’s a file upload request from Danay (works in the Office of Public Stewardship), I usually upload files to documents > pdf > public-stewardshipFor MCCC Main, you should see folders called .cache, .drush, .ssh, drush-backups, prod.

14. Go into the prod folder, then go into the sites folder. You should see a list of folders for each site in the code line.

15. Navigating into any of the site folders will take you to the files folders where you can directly upload files to the websites. Almost all website files live in the files folder.
