In order to use FTP, you will need to download and install a software program on your computer.

When you first launch the FTP program, a startup screen will appear. This screen will enable you to add your website information and allow the program to connect with your server. You simply fill in the information where indicated with the following information:

Profile Name – This name will be added to the selection list of profile names. Select your profile name according to your domain. For example, if your domain name were ftp-hosting.org, your profile name might be ftp-hosting.

Host Name/Address – Your domain name address. Example – www.ftp-hosting.org

User ID – Your hosting User ID. Example – ftp-hosting.

Password – Your hosting password.

Depending on which FTP client you use, the names may be slightly different.

Once the FTP program has connected with your server, you will see the files on your computer in the left window and the files on your server will be displayed in the right window.
