To establish an FTP connection and access your account, there are several things you need to know:
- The FTP server hostname - usually, this is your domain name. In addition, you can access your account directly via your server IP (this eliminates domain resolving issues);
- Your FTP login details - if your account is hosted in a company, that uses cPanel like SiteGround, you can create FTP users, assign folders to them and set their passwords via the FTP Users tool;
- FTP connection software - you need either a browser that supports FTP connection, or a specialised FTP client in order to access your account. Check out our articles on how to establish an FTP connection using an FTP client. and FTP connection with a web browser for more information on that matter.
