1. When you start CuteFTP for the first time, a wizard will appear. If it does not, then skip to step 5. In the wizard, first fill in a name you wish to use to identify your FTP connection with. A good idea would be to name it the same name you choose for your web site, for example.

   

2. Fill in the FTP Host name. This is ftp.yourdomain.com where yourdomain.com is your actual domain name.

   

3. Fill in your actual domain name for the username, and fill in your password.

   

4. Click on the folder icon and browse to the folder you have saved your web page files on your local hard drive. This way when you connect to your web space on Active Web Hosting's servers, you will also automatically be taken the folder you name here to make it easier to transfer your files. Next click the Finish button. You are now set up.

   

5. Please skip to Step 7 if you completed Steps 1 - 4. If you did not see the Setup Wizard when you first started CuteFTP, then from the Tools Menu select Site Manager and click on Display Site Manager.

   

6. Type in a name for your FTP account. Also fill in the Host Address, which is ftp.yourdomain.com where yourdomain.com represents your actual domain name. Use your actual domain name as your username as well, and fill in your password. When done you can either click Connect to go right to your web space on Active Web Hosting's servers.
