Access FTP details with Legacy Cloud Hosting

Overview

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a protocol used to transfer files from one host to another e.g. from your computer to our website servers. Upon subscribing to a website hosting plan, users are provided with FTP details so that they may use a third party FTP client to upload their website files to our servers. Below are instructions on where to locate, update and manage your FTP details.
