# Manually Uploading a Site Using Cyberduck

Cyberduck is a free, open source FTP client. You can use Cyberduck to upload a Sandvox site after exporting it to a folder on your computer.

To upload an exported Sandvox site using Cyberduck:

1. Launch Cyberduck and click the "Open Connection" button at the toolbar.

2. Select a protocol that your host supports. We strongly recommend SFTP because it is more secure.

If your host does not support it, FTP will be your next best option.

1. Enter your hostname into the "server" field. Also enter your username and password.

If you do not know any of this information, contact your host.

1. Click the "Connect" button.

2. Once Cyberduck has connected to your host, find your document root folder and double-click it.

If you do not know which folder is your document root, please check the documentation for your host (and if necessary, contact their technical support staff).

For example, if your document root is `/html/`, you should see something like this:

1. If you wish to upload to a subfolder, use Cyberduck to create one within the document root directory ("File" -> "New Folder" or Shift-Cmd-N). Once you have created the subfolder, double-click it. (NOTE: This step is optional).
2. Open the "File" menu, select "Upload" and navigate to the folder where you have saved the site files that have been exported from Sandvox. (IMPORTANT: DO NOT upload the Sandvox document itself. You must first export your site from Sandvox to a folder in your computer. The export process creates the files that you will upload to the web.') Contained in the folder are files and folders, such as the '_Media' folder, the '_Resources' folder and "index.html" file, among others.

3. Select all the files and folders in the folder.

1. Click the "Upload" button and wait for the site to finish uploading.
2. Click the "Refresh" button at the Cyberduck toolbar to check if the files and folders have been uploaded properly.
