Check your email to see if you have received the confirmation email from the Web-hosting service. This should contain your important account information, including the FTP details.
Log into your Web-hosting account to get the FTP details from your hosting control panel. The exact location of this information varies by hosting company. Look for the 'account settings' area of the control panel.
Use your hosting company's online help database to find your FTP port numbers. Typically the port numbers are the same for all users. Most of the time you will be using either port 20 or 21, but you should confirm this with your hosting company.

How to Host a Motivational MeetingIn Feburary 2016 15,
In Feburary 2016 15,
Consider the work climate and employee needs when scheduling the motivational meeting. If employees answer to several bosses, talk to other department heads to ensure the meeting won't interfere with other tasks. Avoid scheduling motivational meetings when employees have extremely heavy work loads. Try not to plan them on Friday afternoons, when employees are distracted by the weekend, or Monday mornings, when employees are still settling into their work flow. If you do need to schedule the meeting during a busy time, plan to keep it short and to the point. To ensure the meeting room isn't double booked when you need it, alert your company's administrative department or book through a scheduling system.
Provide Food
The old adage 'if you feed them, they will come' holds especially true with work functions. Providing food communicates to employees that the meeting is important and that they are valued. This incentivizes them to attend and increases their attention span. You can still provide food even if you don't have a large budget. Employees will expect a larger spread at a meal time, so don't schedule close to lunch and dinner if you can't afford to host a full meal. Instead, provide donuts and coffee for a morning meeting or tasty snacks in the afternoon.
Do Your Homework
The specific motivational content for your meeting will depend on the topic and the business context. No matter the situation, a little research can make a big impact on your meeting. Read through company progress reports and feedback documents to discover where employees are frustrated, struggling or otherwise lacking in motivation. Jot down an outline of the meeting and all the points you want to address. Organize the points into three key concepts, which will be easier for employees to digest and remember. For example, the three concepts could be 'where we've been, where we are and where we need to go.'
Speak Sincerely
Above all else, be straightforward, honest and sincere with your employees. Avoid flowery speeches and emotional tactics that can come off as inauthentic. Instead, empower your employees by reminding them of all they've achieved. For example, you can use power point slides that highlight the most significant achievements and improvements a team has made over the last financial period to help motivate them to keep improving. Encourage employees to participate in the department's or company's goal-setting process. At the end of the meeting, show your appreciation for their work and communicate your genuine belief that they can achieve or exceed work objectives.

How to Not be Awkward at a PartyIn Feburary 2016 06,
In Feburary 2016 06,
When I moved by myself to a new city, I wanted very badly to meet people and resume a normal social life. Normally outgoing and easy to make friends, I found myself a hermit for basically a year until a co-worker from another office across town invited me to a party. Boy, was it awkward for me to get back into the swing of things and reconnect with my old self - the one who knew how to have fun at any party!
One important thing to do when feeling awkward at a party is to assume a role or take on a job. A great way that I have found to feel like you're blending right in is to show up a little early (make sure it's ok with the host or hostess first) and help them with food, decorations, etc. This not only helps the person hosting the party, but it also ensures that you will be introduced to people one-by-one as they enter Way better than showing up late when everyone is already there and the party is in full swing!
Can't show up early? You can still assume a job no matter what time you get there. Help the host with serving drinks, help make cocktails, or take the birthday card around for everyone to sign. Keep your eyes open and you will see a role that needs to be filled! This is a great way to mingle and meet people, and you won't feel awkward doing it since you have a purpose.
Obviously you know someone at the party (at least a little), or else you wouldn't be there. Be bold and ask your acquiantance to introduce you to some of his or her friends. Even if you just meet them in passing at first, you can take note of who seemed friendly or who you had something in common with, and go back and visit them later.
Go with an open mind. Parties are for fun and mingling, so don't be a wallflower! If your connection at the party is busy, be outgoing and introduce yourself to people. Even if you feel like you have nothing to say, you can just open with, 'Hi, I'm _____. Great party! How do you know (host/hostess)?' and go from there.
Parties don't have to be intimidating! Have fun and go with a goal of meeting at least one new person that you will hang out with in the future/network with in the business world/play tennis with, etc.
