How to FTP a Static Page in WordPress





1. Download and install an FTP client, such as FileZilla or Kompozer. When the download completes, run the setup file to install the client to your computer.
2. Launch the FTP client from its desktop shortcut and provide the information about your website, including FTP account, FTP username and FTP password. You will get this information from the web hosting company with which you signed up for hosting your website. These details are typically found in the 'Welcome' email from your hosting company.

3. Click 'Connect' or 'Quickconnect' to access your blog's files on your web host's server.
4. Use the directory listing under 'Local site' to navigate to the static webpage file that is to be uploaded to your website. Right-click this file and select 'Upload.' You will be prompted when the webpage uploads successfully. The uploaded file will also appear under 'Remote site' section, which shows all the files that are currently uploaded to your website.
5. Shift the uploaded webpage file to a new directory. Since you're looking to add the file as a new page on your Wordpress blog, you will have to create a new directory for it. To create the new directory, right-click anywhere in the 'Remote site' section of your FTP client and select 'Create directory.' Enter the navigation link for the new page. For instance, if the title of the new static page is 'Downloads,' type '/public_html/New folder/Downloads' as the address link for the new page. Drag the webpage file from the main folder under 'Remote site' to the 'Downloads' folder that you just created. If we assume that the address of your blog is 'www.example.com,' then the static webpage that you added to this blog will be accessible at 'www.example.com/downloads.'
6. Add a link to the new static 'Downloads' page on your Wordpress blog's homepage. To add this link, you need to open your website homepage files in a web designing software, such as Adobe Dreamweaver and add the link at an appropriate place on your homepage.
