Uploading Cockpit with FTP Print

Step 1: Prepare your files

1. Download the provided zip file (e.g., cockpit-2.5.1.zip)
2. Extract the zip file on your local computer
3. Locate the UPLOAD_cockpit.zip file within the extracted files

Step 2: Extract the upload package

1. Extract UPLOAD_cockpit.zip to a folder on your computer
2. This will contain all the files that need to be uploaded to your server

Step 3: Connect to your web server via FTP

1. Open your FTP client (like FileZilla)
2. Enter your FTP credentials:
   • Host: ftp.yourdomain.com
   • Username: your_username
   • Password: your_password
   • Port: 21 (default)
3. Click "Connect" or "Quickconnect"

Step 4: Upload the files

1. In the FTP client, navigate to your website's root directory on the server (usually /public_html/ or /www/)
2. Create a new folder called "cockpit" if it doesn't already exist
3. Open the folder where you extracted UPLOAD_cockpit.zip on your local computer
4. Select all files and folders
5. Upload them to the "cockpit" folder on your server by:
   • Dragging and dropping the files from local to remote panel, or
   • Right-clicking the selected files and choosing "Upload"

Step 5: Set correct file permissions

1. Once the upload is complete, select all uploaded files and folders
2. Right-click and select "File permissions"
3. Set appropriate permissions:
   • Folders: 755 (rwxr-xr-x)
   • Files: 644 (rw-r--r--)
   • PHP files: 644 (rw-r--r--)

Step 6: Verify installation

1. Open your web browser
2. Navigate to your website/cockpit (e.g., https://yourdomain.com/cockpit/)
3. You should see the Cockpit application interface
4. If you encounter errors, check that:
   • All files were uploaded correctly
   • File permissions are set correctly
   • Your server meets all requirements (PHP version, ionCube, etc.)

Step 7: Final configuration

1. Follow any additional instructions provided in the documentation
2. Update any configuration files if needed
3. Complete any setup wizards if prompted

Remember to ensure your server meets all the requirements (PHP 7.4-8.4, ionCube Loaders, SQLite3, Apache, etc.) before installation.
