2. Connect to your current website via FTP. You can do it with any type of FTP client software, one of them is FileZilla. To connect to your website, you will need to specify your hostname, which you can find out from your hosting provider. Then provide your FTP access login and password.
3. After that, right within your FTP client dashboard, open the root directory of your site. It is the top folder with the index. php file. Then, copy the“ cms2cms” folder that you’ ve extracted from your bridge file previously and paste it to the root folder.
