Before you start

To use FTP, you need:

• An FTP client (e.g. FileZilla, Dreamweaver)
• To know your hosting account’s type. This way, you can use the right instructions for your type of hosting (e.g. cPanel, Plesk, etc.)
• To make sure that account is set up
• Your hosting account (FTP) hostname, username and password

This guide will help you find the information you need to use FTP with your website.
