  1. Host: YOURDOMAIN.com *Note: you can also use "ftp.YOURDOMAIN.com" which will use port 21 as the default. You can also use the IP address of your server.
  2. Username: Your cPanel user
  3. Password: The password for your cPanel user
  4. Port: 21 *Note: port 21 is the default port for FTP.
  5. Click connect

  1. Host: YOURDOMAIN.com
  2. Username: ACCOUNT@YOURDOMAIN.com
