Before you can use FTP, you'll need to set up an FTP tool by entering your FTP account settings.

Once your tool is set up, it's easy to connect to your account: Just click the "Connect," "Go," or similar button to activate a connection. (If you can't find the connection button, see your tool's documentation.)

When you successfully connect, your tool will display the folders and files in your Web Hosting account, and you can start working with your files. Learn how to upload and download with FTP.
