3. In the "User" and "Password" fields specify the FTP login details you want to connect with. Normally, you would want to connect with your main Control Panel username/password pair. In case you want to connect with an FTP subuser you previously created at your FTP Manager Control Panel section, you need to specify the login details for that particular user.

Click on the "OK" button.

Connect to ftp.example.com
