For details of the Free Website Hosting offered by Church of Ireland Hosting Services, please click here.
To log into an FTP account, you will need to enter the following information into your FTP client to connect to the server:
Host Address: ftp.domainname
(e.g. ftp.ahoghill.connor.anglican.org)
Port: 21 (default value – may not have to be entered)
Username: As advised by the Webmaster
Password: And its corresponding password
Most FTP clients use a wizard to connect to the remote host of your website, below are some sample screenshots displaying how to configure two common FTP clients, CuteFTP and WS–FTP .
NOTE THAT FILES MUST BE LOADED INTO THE “HTDOCS” FOLDER
Example in Cute FTP:
Step 1:
Enter Host Name (as supplied) and a site name.
Step 2
Enter Username and Password (as supplied)
Step 3
Define a local folder (the area on your PC that you hold your development site) and optionally you can define a remote folder. Since all files MUST be loaded into the htdocs folder, it is recommended that this folder be defined.
Step 4
Click on finish to begin to use CuteFTP.
Example in WS–FTP:
Step 1:
Click on Create Site.
Step 2
Enter a site name
Step 3
Enter your Host name (as supplied)
Step 4
Enter your Username and Password (as supplied)
Click Finish.
Step 5
Highlight the name of your site, and click ‘Connect’
You are now connected to your website’s remote host with WS–FTP
