There are several methods available to transfer the files from your computer to your web server. The most common method in use is transfer via FTP. Currently there are various third party FTP client application available. We suggest you use popular applications like CuteFTP or BulletProof FTP to upload the files onto your web server. For this example we will use BulletProof FTP to proceed with the installation.

Most FTP client applications will upload PHP files in ASCII format, this needs to be changed before you upload the files onto your web server. SupportSuite uses Zend Encoder and IonCube Encoder to protect the source code which requires the PHP files be uploaded in Binary format as uploading the files in ASCII format will print out errors.
