at Bluehost is quite easy.
Here are the steps:
- Go to the Bluehost home
page - Look for Control Panel
Login in the upper righthand
corner of the home page - Click on Control Panel
- Scroll down to Files
- Find FTP Accounts under
Files - Click on FTP Accounts under
Files - Find Add User Account
- Fill out the form under Add
User Account - Click on Create FTP Account
- After creating the account you
will land on a page. Click Go Back
on the landing page - You should now be back at the page
where you created the FTP account. Scroll
down to see if your account has been created.
If not, perhaps it will take a few moments to
create it. - Periodically refresh the page to see if
the account has been created yet.
The obvious last step, after all the other
steps have been completed, is to try to FTP
to your bluehost account. I find the following
command-line command sufficient to get me started:
> ftp yourdomain.com
Update: Bluehost now has something called
Frequently Accessed Areas on the upper
left side of the control panel page. Under this
heading is FTP Accounts. It's in small
print but it is a shortcut if you can find it.
