FTP Accounts

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is an industry standard method for moving files from one computer to another (typically from your computer to a server). Most of our hosting packages include FTP access and the ability to set up one or more accounts.

Setup & Settings -

Standard Hosting Customers:

If you have access to your hosting control panel (Helm) please login to it and go to "Domains/(domain of your choice)". Once you are there select the "FTP Accounts" icon then click "Add" at the top to add a new account. New accounts require a Username and Password as well as the directory you wish to start in by default.
