How Do I Configure My FTP Client?

To set up your FTP client to work with your plan:

1. Set your FTP client to connect to host ftp.yourdomain.com (replace yourdomain.com with your own web address).
2. Set your user name.
3. Set your password.

NOTE: You don't need to enter a remote directory. Your user name and password will automatically bring you to your root directory.

When you've entered your settings, use your client to connect to the FTP server (check your client's documentation for connection help). When you are connected, you should see a list of the files in your account.

You can find your personal FTP settings on the "FTP Manager" of your Web Hosting Control Panel.
