your domain name is already pointing to our servers, you can click simply

(ex: yournamecom). Click on the next text box and enter in your password
exactly as it is in your confirmation email (this is case sensitive).
Finally, make sure the bottom check box labeled Save Password is checked,
and the top check box labeled Anonymous is not checked.

Click
Finish, and you will return to the screen you saw when you first ran
WS-FTP Pro. Make sure that your domain is highlighted, and Click OK.
- Using
WS-FTP Pro
Using
WS-FTP Pro is very simple. You have two directory listings in the main
window. The left side is your local directory listing, the right side
is your remote directory (web server). Navigate to the files you wish
to upload locally (left side) and highlight them. Once they are highlighted,
click the right arrow in between the two directory listings. This will
transmit the files to the web server.
To download files from the remote directory, highlight them and click
the left arrow.
*NOTE:
You will be automatically logged off our server after 5 minutes of no
activity (no data being transmitted).
