mydomain.com<\/li><li><strong>Username:<\/strong> That has the permission to connect using file transfer\u00a0 protocol, it can be set either on cPanel or Plesk.<\/li><li><strong>Password:<\/strong> Use the password associated to the current File Transfer Protocol username.<\/li><li><strong>Port:<\/strong> This is the port you connect to your server through.<br \/>For standard<strong> FTP you use port 21<\/strong>. SFTP will use port 22 for VPS and dedicated servers. Shared servers will connect to SFTP via port 2222.<\/li><li><strong>Directory<\/strong>: The main directory for your domain will be public_html. If you are using the cPanel username you will use \u201cpublic_html\u201d for cPanel account or \u201chttpdocs\u201d for Plesk hosting account, if your program requires a directory to be specific.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e58cdb9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-elementor-faq-schema\" data-id=\"e58cdb9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"elementor-faq-schema.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t                                    <script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n                    {\n                        \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n                        \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n                        \"mainEntity\": [\n                         {\n                            \"@type\": \"Question\",\n                            \"name\": \"What Is FTP?\",\n                            \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n                                \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n                                \"text\": \"&lt;p&gt;FTP stands for\u00a0 File Transfer Protocol, it used for uploading and downloading files from your hosting account, and transferring files from server to another, or from server to clients.&lt;\/p&gt;\"\n                            }\n                                                    },\n                                             {\n                            \"@type\": \"Question\",\n                            \"name\": \"Why To Use FTP?\",\n                            \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n                                \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n                                \"text\": \"&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Transfer multiple files.&lt;\/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Resume the transfer if the connection is lost.&lt;\/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Transfer big files.&lt;\/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;To use it as auto backup destination.&lt;\/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The data transfer is faster than HTTP.&lt;\/li&gt;&lt;\/ul&gt;\"\n                            }\n                                                    }\n                    ]\n                    }\n                <\/script>\n                    \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The definition of FTP FTP stands for\u00a0 File Transfer Protocol, we use it to upload and download files from our hosting account, and transfer files from server to another, or from server to clients.
