How to Login with an FTP client via FTP
FTP/FTPS Login Info
Please note the following Hosted~FTP~ account credentials for logging in with an FTP client i.e. FileZilla, Cyberduck, etc using the FTP/FTPS protocol. Please distribute the following information with your own values to your clients for hostname, username and password. Please note that the setup for a User should include a “Default FTP folder” specified on the users tab. This ensures that when the user logs in they will be placed in their own restricted shared folder if required.
