• Where can I download a free FTP?
  • We recommend couple of free FTP sites: SmartFTP and AceFTP
     
  • I cannot connect to my server, why?
  • If your FTP programme is not connecting properly, it may happen because:
    - Your firewall could be blocking it
    - If you are behind a router enable passive FTP mode
    - Make sure you have the IP from your welcome email for host name;
          only the numbers don't add ftp, www or anything else
    - Make sure your username and password match what is in your welcome email
    - Some FTP programs require a path in order to connect;
          your path would be /home/putYOURusernamehere/public_html
     
  • I cannot upload my files, what is wrong?
  • Make sure you are uploading to the right web directory, which is inside the public_html or www folder. If you're sure you're uploading to the right folder, you are probably out of disk space.
     
  • I changed my cPanel password, why FTP password is still the same?
  • Allow at least 24 hours for your FTP password to synchronise  with your cPanel password. If it does not work after that time, please submit support ticket.
     
  • Why my FTP is very slow and disconnecting me a lot?
  • Go into your FTP options and see if passive mode is checked- if yes, uncheck it. If it is not checked, try checking it. This should solve your problem, assuming the issue is not with your actual connection to the Internet.
