•         In the "FTP Server Address" field, type in the domain name of the FTP site (e.g. ftp.domain.com or just domain.com) or IP address (e.g. 192.168.10.119) as was given to you by your Web hosting provider.

•         In the optional "Startup directory" field, type in whatever information was provided by your Web hosting provider. In most cases, this field is not required.
