Managing webspace with wsFTP

Start WS FTP for the first time and you will be shown the Site setup box.

1. The Site Name box is simply a title for the connection that you are creating - it can be anything that you like.

2.Host Name/Address is the server to which you are uploading: this should be ftp.plus.net

3.The User ID should be the same as your login name, and the password is the same as your usual
PlusNet password.

The rest of the entry fields can be left blank.

The Remote Site Folder should be left blank or set to "htdocs".

Once you have connected, the screen should look something like this:

All of the rest of the settings can be left at their defaults. Then click OK.

When you have finished transferring files, you can terminate the connection with the close button.
