How to Install Drupal via FTP

An easy way to install Drupal is through the cPanel (Control Panel) via Softaculous Apps Installer. However, if you don’t have access to the Control Panel or Vodien Account Manager, Drupal can still be installed via FTP. Follow the instructions below on how to install it. 

Prerequisites:

Step 1. Access the Drupal download page. 

Step 2. Click the Download Drupal zip button.

Step 5. From your computer, upload all files and folders inside the drupal-9.1.0 folder to your web hosting server. You can follow this link to see how to upload files and folders to FTP client. 

Step 6. Access your website’s domain or subdomain on the web browser without the HTTP. 

Step 7. Choose your preferred language from the drop-down and click the Save and continue button to proceed.

On the next page, you will be logged in automatically to the administration page of the website. Use the link yourdomain.com/user/login (yourdomain.com is the domain of your website) to login to the admin page of the website anytime.
