If you would like to use FTP (File Transfer Protocol) to upload or download files to your hosting package, you need to configure your FTP client with the correct connection details.
The table below lists the necessary FTP settings you can use with any FTP program of your choice.
| Setting | Value / Description |
| Protocol | FTPES (explicit TLS/SSL) |
| Host | sXX.webhostingserver.nl (replace 'sXX' with your server number)[LINK TO MANUAL EXPLAINING THAT -> ALSO CHECK IF THIS IS RELEVANT STILL] |
| Alternate host | ftp.yourdomain.com (replace 'yourdomain.com' with your own domain) |
| Port | 21 |
| Username | Your DirectAdmin username or the username of a separate FTP account that you have created |
| Password | The password associated with your DirectAdmin or FTP account |
| Upload folder | /public_html/ or /domains/example.com/public_html |
| Start page filename | index.htm, index.html or index.php (in small letters) |
ou must upload your website files to the public_html folder for your website to work correctly.
Files placed outside this folder (e.g., at a higher directory level) will not be visible on your website.
Make sure that an index file (e.g., index.html, index.htm, or index.php) is present inside the public_html folder — this is the file the server uses as your website’s home page.
