Accessing the FTP

Prerequisites

To connect to the FTP, you will need your login details and an FTP client (Filezilla, Cyberduck, Transmit, etc.).

The login details (username and password) for your FTP are sent to you when your hosting account is created.

2. Click on "Add FTP account."
3. Enter a user name
4. Select the directory the user will have access to; if you do not select one, the user will have access to all folders and files in the FTP

6. Create the user by clicking on "OK."
