[Answered] Using Ftp With Heliohost

[yasutake9]

Hello!

 

I am trying to use the Codeanywhere system to connect to my site's files through FTP. It asks for 4 fields:

1. Server name
   
2. Hostname
   
3. Username
   
4. Password
   

 

I've created an FTP account on my cPanel to deal with the last 2, but what should I fill in for the rest?

 

Sincerely,

Server name:

 

Stevie: stevie.heliohost.org

 

Johnny ftp.johnny.heliohost.org

 

You could also use your domain name like this: ftp.yourdomain.org

 

Hostname would be your domain name: yourdomain.org

What could have happened?

You need to use your cpanel username: tcby6207

 

Or if this is an additional ftp account that you've created then the username would look like this:

 

admin@supergeek45.heliohost.org

 

For the record, it's not necessary to create an ftp account to actually ftp into your site. You just use your cpanel username and password to ftp into your account.
