Retrieving FTP Accesses
In order to connect via FTP, you need a username, a password and a host/server name.
We recommend that you use your username and the corresponding password that allows you to connect to the hosting account. You will find an article in our knowledge base that shows you how to retrieve this access: Recovering a Password for the Hosting Account Login.
If you do not want to share this information, you can also create additional FTP accounts. For more information, we recommend that you read the paragraph How to Create an FTP Account from the article FTP Accounts in N0C.
