How do I log in to my DreamHost.com account and edit my simple (eg. index.html) webpages?
Wednesday, November 11th, 2009I have a DreamHost.com account. Where do I go to update the text of my index.html and all other pages? I do not have anything fancy like databases. I put something up when I first got it, but I can’t figure it out now. :S Thanks.
First see if you can login to your control panel:
https://panel.dreamhost.com/
There will be a default FTP user set up, and you can change the password to gain access to your site files for editing.
There is also a webFTP program available through the control panel. It is somewhat limited as to the file size you can upload, but usually works well for HTML and images files. It has an editor with which you can alter files on the server.
Once you are in the control panel, you will see links to the extensive documentation.
