Setting Up WS_FTP Home 9
If the Connection Wizard window is not already displayed, click on the
Connection Wizard icon.
Type in a name for your connection. A suggestion would be the name of your web
site, for instance.
Enter the host name. This would be something like ftp.yourdomain.com where
yourdomain.com would be your actual domain name.
Enter your username and password. Your username is your actual domain name.
Leave the Connection Type at the default FTP and click the Next
button.
Click on the Advanced button
Be sure that the box next to Use passive mode for data connections is
unchecked. Active Web Hosting's FTP server works best when you are not

to access your web page. After this, you can simply click on the Connect
icon or the down arrow next to it and select your connection.
