Antes de publicar reproducimos cada paso en al menos dos marcas si depende del proveedor. o dos veces en días distintos si no. Capturamos errores de consola, etiquetas que cambian por región y actualizamos si mueven un botón. Rutas y capturas se revisan trimestralmente. En DNS, SSL o pagos verificamos opciones de recuperación y enlazamos la documentación oficial.
In cPanel/hPanel → FTP Accounts or SSH/SFTP section, create a user scoped to public_html (or the site root). Note host, username, password.
File → Site Manager → New Site. Protocol: SFTP. Host: your server hostname. Port: 22 (unless host specifies otherwise). Logon type: Normal.
On first connect, verify the host key fingerprint against your host's documentation, then accept.
Remote pane: open the web root where wp-config.php lives. Local pane: your computer project folder.
Drag to upload; keep backups before overwriting. Set file permissions per host docs. Typically 644 files, 755 folders.
Close the connection when finished. idle sessions may hit security limits.
