FTP

FTP works is a very similar manner to the File Manager, except that you will need to use dedicated software to connect to FTP.

Personally, I use Cute FTP, which you can try free for a month, but there are also freeware FTP programs out there, which may be good enough for those that do not use FTP very often (I use it daily).

FTP is recommended to use if you have a large number of files to upload or if you want to upload a single file that has a large filesize. It has a more reliable connection for uploads like this.

To connect to a site in a FTP program, you simply need to provide your cPanel login information for that site. The Host that you specify for the site is your domain name with ftp. added to the beginning.

You can see below that I have set the host as ftp.downcomforterguide.com.
