Using FTP:
Using FTP to upload and download files
from your server is a fast and easy way to go. Our
servers work with any FTP software. All FTP software
requires the same information in order to connect with
your web hosting account.

received this with your original hosting information
after signing up. ex 216.127.25.69 If
your domain name is working then you may also use this
format to connect with ftp ex

with your actual domain name.
Username
Your web hosting username
Password

Do not
click on anonymous ftp or any other options.
Then click
connect. You'll see your web hosting account files in the
right window. On the left window you'll see the files on
your computer. Simply highlight the files you want to
move and right click. Choose upload or download
depending on what your goal is. Remember your hosting
files belong in your public_html directory which you
will see once you connect with FTP. The first page of
your website should be named index.html in order for it
to be seen as your home page.
