To connect to the hosting via FTP requires a special FTP client, in this example we will use "FileZilla"

FileZilla is one of the best free FTP managers that will help you download and upload files from FTP servers. The program has a convenient and pleasant interface, there are many supported languages, as well as a variety of settings and features.

To connect we need the following information:

  • Login
  • Password
  • Host or FTP-server
  • Port for ftp connection we need "21"

This information can be seen in the properties of your order.
