How to deploy an bower based angularjs webapp via FTP

Question

Sorry for the stupid question but I have never used FTP before. I have a webapp that is built upon gulp and bower.json and angularjs using gulp-angular yeoman generator. normally running this app locally I would run bower-install and then gulp and then gulp serve but now I want to deploy it to a server using FTP via fileZilla.

I know how to upload files there, have everything setup I can run a simple html page but I am stumped how to initiate this app there?

You can use the command gulp build to pack all necessary sources together.

After that process is done you can upload the contents of the ./dist folder via ftp.

For making your app accessible you need a simple http server that serves the sources you uploaded e.g. apache, nginx, lighthttp

Edit:

Assuming you have linux as server OS and your app is located in /usr/local/www/app, a minimal example apache vhost configuration could look like the following snippet:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/app/
    ServerName server.tld
</VirtualHost>

I have setup apache, my problem is that the remote site is serving html from root directors whereas my html is in /src folder. Can I change that path from fileZilla?

Could you post necessary Information of your vhost configuration and your directory structure?
