FTP logon problems

[Derekyiwu]

Hi everyone,

I feel stupid I continualy have this problem when moving from one location to another with managing my websites.

I never remeber the Dream weaver logon information.

I know my site ftp address and passwords but never remeber the format for the ftp host.

I am simply getting error log on messages no matter what I try.

I am certain its very simple.

Is there any one out there that dosent assume its glaringly obvious and can just tell me what info should go in the ftp host box.

Many thanks

bewildered jet lagged of china.

FTP host: domain.com
Login: is your cpanel account name, not user@domain.com.

The FTP hostname is: ftp.yourDomain.com where yourDomain.com is your domain.

If it requires a full URL, it would likely be ftp://ftp.yourDomain.com and it should prompt you for a password.

Most programs (especially web browsers) no longer support ftp://user:password@yourDomain.com but if all else fails, it's worth a shot.

My post above is what Dreamweaver would use.
