What are some publishing tools that use FTP?

All Web Hosting and Merchant Solutions customers can use FTP to transfer files between their computers and their accounts. To get started you'll need only two things:

1. An FTP tool
You don't need anything fancy — in fact, we recommend several simple options that are also free! Some tools offer additional features that you can explore later; all you need to start is a way to connect to your account. See our recommendations.

2. Your FTP settings
We've printed your unique FTP settings on the Create & Update and Manage tabs of your Web Hosting Control Panel. You'll need these to connect to your account with your FTP tool.

Your settings look like this:

  • host or address: ftp.widgetdesigns.com (replace widgetdesigns.com with your own domain name)
  • user or login: name@widgetdesigns.com (replace name with your Yahoo! ID, and widgetdesigns.com with your own domain name)
  • password: the password you use to sign in to your Yahoo! account

With an FTP tool and your FTP settings, you're ready to get started!
