This article explains how to configure WS_FTP LE to access your web site (note: WS_FTP LE has been replaced by WS_FTP Home. The free version of WS_FTP LE is still available from a few sites, such as
oldversion.com).
- Start WS_FTP LE. You should be in the Session
Properties dialog box. Click Connect if you do not see the Session
Properties dialog box
- Click New

either your FTP address (ftp.HostingAccountDomain.com) or the secondary FTP
address in this field. Your FTP login information can be found in the Site Info section of Control Panel.
Note: your FTP address will not work until your domain name resolves to our servers.

- Enter your password in the Password field
- Optional: Check Save Pwd to save your FTP password in the profile
