Can I access my account through FTP?

Yes. The account can be accessed through FTP.

A File Transfer Protocol (FTP) program transfers files from the local (client) computer to a remote server on the Internet, where the files are stored. Several free FTP programs for client computers are available for download from the Internet.

• Navigate to the www/htdocs or usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs folder on your account (the right side of the dialog). This is the directory where you will store your Web content.
