To set up a new FTP connection you need to click ‘Bookmark’ menu from the top and choose ‘New Bookmark’ option. Also for accessing new bookmark’s setup screen you may press Ctrl+Shift+B buttons (if you use MS Windows).
Extra attention should be paid to port and connection protocol combination. Those can be set in ‘Port’ field and the drop-down menu on the top of the setup window.

‘Path’ field in the ‘More Options’ section can be used if you want to specify the folder which opens up after the FTP session starts up. If you use cPanel user name and you want to upload web site for the main domain name under your account, please input the following folder in the ‘Path’ field.

If you use FTP: /public_html

If you use FTP connection protocol, then it is advisable to use either ‘Default’ or ‘Passive (PASV)’ connection mode. With the help of ‘Download Folder’ option you can specify default folder on your computer to which files from your hosting account will be downloaded by request.
