Once this information is typed in, the next time you want to log in, just click on the R button. Here you can change the FTP Type for a Secure FTP connection if you choose. Most of the other information is the same. The Site manager allows you to name the connection for example if you have multiple URL’s. The rest of the information you should have received in an email from Dreamhost. It needs your URL, your username, your password and a port number. The quickconnect you just type in the info right in the tool bar.

In filezilla there are two way to connect. I’m a total beginner so please respond in detail and in layman’s terms So…what’s going on here? Thanks for the help.

Instead, I was asked for a server address, a port number (which was automatically typed in as ‘14147’) and an administrative password.ĭo you have any idea how I can use this FTP program with Dreamhost-ed site built by Wordpress?Īlso, I noticed that when I press the FTP navigation button under my domain in my Manage Domains page, the page cannot be found. However, after downloading the program, I was not asked for the username, password, and servername that were provided to me by DreamHost. So I turned to the program FileZilla, which was supposed to be very easy to use. It was practically written in Latin for all I understood it. The Help Page was ridiculously unhelpful. But I found the site extremely non-user friendly for a beginner. I attempted to navigate the Dreamhost FTP (net2ftp), and was able to enter the username, server name, and password, and was then taken to what I guess was my file uploading page. I would like to build my website using the WordPress installer, and it seems that I should first have a FTP connected to my site.
