Available servers

You will need to enter information for the following fields:

Nickname: This is the name that will be associated with this ftp process. It can be anything that you want. A good default is the name of your web site. For example www.your_domain.com or My hosting service.

Server: You need to specify ftp://your_domain.com, where your_domain.com is your actual domain name. You can also use the hostname of the server on which your account is hosted. This information can be found in the Welcome e-mail message of your hosting account.

Directory: For publishing to your main site, you should use /www/www. To publish to a subdomain, you should use /www/[subdomain_name] where you should replace [subdomain_name] with the name of your subdomain.

In the "Username" and "Password" fields, you need to specify the FTP login details you want to connect with. Normally, you would want to connect with your main Control Panel username/password pair.

Check the Save checkbox next to the password.

Then open up the Advanced properties for the connection by clicking on the Advanced button.
