How to Find the Login for FTP for GoDaddyIn Feburary 2016 28,

In Feburary 2016 28,
Check the email you received from GoDaddy when you created your Web hosting account. GoDaddy recommends that customers print out this confirmation email, because it contains important account information that customers often need to use as they manage a website. Either find the email within a folder of your email browser or find the printed copy of the email, because it contains your login name and password.
Visit the GoDaddy website and enter your Customer Number in the upper-left corner of the homepage. Click the 'My Account' tab and then click 'Web Hosting' from beneath the 'Products' section in the left sidebar. Select the domain you wish to view and find the 'Overview' tab. Within the 'Overview' tab, you will see a 'Login' box with your username.
Create a new password if you cannot remember your password and you do not have your confirmation email from GoDaddy. Visit the GoDaddy website and enter your Customer Number in the upper-left corner of the homepage. Click the 'My Account' tab and then click 'Web Hosting' from beneath the 'Products' section in the left sidebar. Click 'Launch' beside the correct hosting account. Within the 'FTP' section, find the 'Password' field and select 'Change.' Enter a new password twice into the appropriate fields and select 'Update.' GoDaddy warns that it may take as long as one hour for a new password to take effect.
Contact GoDaddy if you continue to experience technical problems. Dial (480) 505-8877 to speak with a support representative. Provide your customer PIN or the last four digits of the credit card you used to pay for your Web hosting. Providing either of these numbers identifies you to GoDaddy -- the customer service representative will not assist you without either of these numbers. Ask the support representative for your login information. The representative will email you the information to the email address associated with your Web hosting account.

How to Set Up a VPS HostIn Feburary 2016 24,

In Feburary 2016 24,
Select your VPS service. Follow the link in Resources below to browse hosting packages and prices. Select a service with a plan that suits your individual needs.
Click on the 'Sign Up' link on your chosen service's website. Fill out the forms and payment options as prompted. When you are done, wait for the service to process your application. When the service has created your account and virtual private server, it will send you an email with your login credentials.
Navigate to your chosen service's website, click 'My Account' and log in to your account with your user name and password. The first time you log in, the service will ask you to make some choices to configure your server. You will be prompted to make these selections after you log in.
Select your kernel. Most VPS services will offer a variety of Linux kernels to install on your server. If you know which kernel you want to run, select it. If you are unsure, choosing the Ubuntu kernel is a safe choice.
Select the size of your first partition. When you signed up for the VPS service, you chose a plan with a certain amount of disk space. You can choose to dedicate all of this space to a single partition. If you want to host multiple websites from your VPS, you can also choose to make a smaller first partition and then create more partitions from the remaining space.
Write down the IP address of each of your VPS partitions. These will be displayed on your account page. If you created only one partition, then you will have only one IP address.
Open a program on your computer capable of running the Secure Shell (SSH). If you are on Linux or Mac OS X, then this will be your Terminal application. If you are on Windows, download PuTTY (see Resources).
Type 'ssh root@your-partition's-ip-address' into your SSH-capable application, and press 'Enter' to access your VPS. Type in your account's password when prompted. After this, you will be logged in to your VPS, ready to install your server software and configure it to your needs.

How to Create a Folder on an FTP SiteIn Feburary 2016 12,

In Feburary 2016 12,
Open Internet Explorer. Enter the URL of the FTP site you want to access just like you would for any site you wanted to go to. But instead of starting the URL with 'http,' start it with 'ftp.' This will take you to the main folder for that site.
Click on 'Page' at the top on the right side in your tool bar. See the image here if you have trouble locating it. Select 'Open FTP site in Windows Explorer.' It will open a window in Windows Explorer. It should be a login window. If it opens a window that is empty or only contains a folder called 'pub,' right-click in the blank area and select 'Login as...' and it will open the login window.
Enter your FTP user account login information in the login window and click 'Log on.' The window should now display all the folders and files in the main folder of the FTP site you have accessed.
Right-click within the blank white area (not on a file or folder) and hover over 'New' in the pop-up. Select 'Folder' from the fly-out.
Title your folder whatever you deem necessary or have been instructed to title it. Your job is now complete and you are ready to add files to your folder.

What Are the Benefits of FTP?In Feburary 2016 11,

In Feburary 2016 11,
Files are uploaded to an FTP server. The server has a large memory capacity to host the files available for transfer. Files can be accessed through any Internet browser or any FTP software, referred to as a 'client.' Sometimes files are available permanently, but oftentimes, especially through a company, they may be available only temporarily. Check with the administrator to find out whether there is an automatic delete time frame.
Access
One way to access these files directly is to use the FTP address through an Internet browser. The address will be similar to a website address, except instead of 'http://,' it will begin with 'ftp://.' You may need a login ID and password to access some FTP sites, which will typically automatically pop up in a dialogue box.
Inside an FTP Site
Once you're logged in, there will usually be a file structure, with main folders and subfolders, similar to what you may have in 'My Documents' on your computer. This structure is set up by an administrator. Folders and files may be public or private, and access may include adding, moving, editing and/or deleting; so, if it seems like you can't do something, check with the administrator about the limits to your access.
'Hidden' FTP
However, when downloading from the internet, the FTP site is probably using an anonymous login, which is why you may have never known it was happening. The FTP address itself is usually hidden from the end user, though the file transfer process is the same.
Easier Access
If you start using an FTP site regularly, find yourself with multiple IDs or just want an easier access point, then an FTP client is something to consider. There are many free options available. It makes uploading much easier and protects downloads---simply drag and drop. It will store all of your frequented FTP sites, along with their respective logins and passwords, in one convenient place. Check out the resources below for a start, find one that suits your needs and preferences, and let the file transfers begin.

How to Transfer Files to an iPad With FTPIn Feburary 2016 11,

In Feburary 2016 11,
Download, install and launch the FTP client app from the App Store.
Enter the desired FTP address.
Enter your username and password, leaving the login blank for anonymous public servers.
Ensure that you've selected the appropriate FTP protocol (FTP or the more FTPS or SFTP), and then tap 'Connect.' If you are unsure of which protocol to choose, check with your IT administrator for clarification.
Tap a file name, and then choose your action from the menu of options. For example, tap 'Open' (if the file format is supported by iOS) to open it on your iPhone or tap 'Move' to transfer it to a different location on the FTP server. Files like HTML or PHP can be edited from the built-in text editor in either app.

Open Notepad and paste the following text into a new document:open releases.mozilla.organonymousXYZ@XYZ.COMcd pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/5.0/win32/en-US/binaryget 'Firefox Setup 5.0.exe'These are batch commands that connect your computer to Mozilla's 'Pub' folder on its FTP site.

Windows also displays a message that begins with 'Opening BINARY mode data connection.' Wait while Windows downloads the file. When the download completes, the 'ftp>' command prompt appears.
Type 'Quit' to disconnect from the Mozilla FTP site after that command prompt appears.
Type the following text in the CMD window: 'Firefox Setup 5.0.exe' Be sure to include the quotes as shown. Windows begins installing the latest version of Firefox. Follow the instructions as the wizard guides you through the setup process.
