can be an IP address like 111.222.333.444.

- Use the File Transfer Protocol.

- Click normal and type in your username and password. This is
information you can obtain from your ISP (Internet Service Provider) or domain registrar.

- When you're ready click connect and you'll be connected to your host.

- On the left-hand side are the files on your computer, while the right-hand side shows the files on your Web server.

- To transfer a file simply highlight it on the left-hand side, right-click, select Upload and the file is uploaded.
