View the video tutorial for this article

To setup an FTP site in Dreamweaver please refer to this brief tutorial.

1. Specify FTP as the connection type
2. Hostname or FTP address of your Web server - 'ftp.webhero.com' (If you are using our Extreme Hosting Windows plan, however, please use 'www.yourdomain' as the FTP hostname.)
3. What folder on the server do you want to store your files in - public_html/
4. FTP login - This is your assigned FTP username (If your account was created after March 2005, your username is the same as your domain name. Do not include the 'www.' in front
5. FTP password - This is the password you use to login to your Webhero.com control panel

Here is a brief checklist If you are receiving errors:

1. Ensure that you are entering all fields in the proper casing (upper vs. lower) and if still not authenticating try the username and/or password in entirely lowercase.
2. Under the Advanced tab: Ensure that "Use Passive FTP" is selected.
3. Advanced tab: Ensure that Use Firewall is checked if you are behind a firewall.
4. Advanced tab: Ensure that Use SSH (Secure SHell) encrypted secure login is not selected.
