# What is FTP?

[FTP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Transfer_Protocol) is a standard network protocol for downloading and uploading files from your computer to the server.

We recommend you to try [FileZilla](https://filezilla-project.org/), it’s free software and available for most popular platforms.

### Using FileZilla software

To use FileZilla software, follow the steps below:

1. Download and install [FileZilla](https://filezilla-project.org/).
2. Navigate to **File -> Site Manager** and click on the **New Site** button. Set the login type as Normal. Then open panel in your hosting account to find **Hostname**, **port**, **username**, and **password**. Fill them in corresponding fields in FileZilla.
3. Click on the **Connect** button. After that, a list of files and folders on the server will appear. Now you can edit files and folders from your local computer and upload them to the server.

### Finding your FTP credentials

These details would mostly have been sent to you by your hosting provider, via email as soon as you created a domain.

**Example FTP details**

**Host IP**: 108.168.23.1\
**Username**: ftpuser\
**Password**: WEM6qRDm\
