Setting Up FTP

Setting Up FTP for Your UMW Domains Account
You can access the files on your web host remotely using a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) program.

Web Hosting Access Panel
Login to UMW Domains login into your account and go to the Websites & Domains Tab. From there look for the "Web Hosting Access" section that will give you the required FTP credentials



Setting Your FTP Credentials
Once you access the Web Hosting Access area you will see an IP address, username, and password. This information will be necessary when you access your web hosting account remotely through FTP, so be sure to record it in some fashion, especially the IP address. Your login and password here should default to your UMW Domains username and password combination.



Download FileZilla
Once you have the credentials you can login into your web hosting remotely using an FTP program. We recommend FileZilla Client which is a free, cross-platform FTP program. You can download FileZilla here.

Using Filezilla's Quick Connect
Once you have downloaded and opened the Filezilla Client. To use Quickconenct, add the IP address in the Host Field, your username and password, leaving the port field blank. See the image below for details.



Setting Up Your Web Host as a Site on Filezilla
If you will be using FTP regularly, you might want to store the FTP information in Fielzilla so you can connect regularly without constantly putting in the credentials.



Once you've clicked on the new connection icon, you will need to create a new site. Enter the name of this FTP connections so you can store your information.



A series of fields will allow you to add information such as your site name, IP address, FTP mode (use SFTP!), username, password, etc.
