If you already have a Firebird database and want to upload it to your hosting account, just follow these steps:

**Step 1**

**1.** Save/export your local database with the user that accesses your hosting.

The password must contain exactly 8 characters, you can define it through the "**Firebird Databases**" item, see; [Here](https://help.scriptcase.net/portal/en/kb/articles/how-to-create-and-change-the-firebird-password)

**Note:** You must grant all privileges to the user before uploading it to hosting, you can use the GRANT command. For example:

**Note: After executing each command, you must copy the displayed returns and execute them in your database.**

**Step 3**

**2**.  **Create a folder named Firebird.**

After creating or if the folder already exists, you must change the folder permissions to 777.

To do this, simply right-click on the folder and go to the **"Change Permissions"** option.

Now your database file is ready to be uploaded. Simply go to the **Upload** option at the top of your screen.

**Port: 3050**

**User: cPanel user of your account**

**Password: password defined in the “Firebird Databases” item.**
