A: FTP mean File Transfer Protocol. Every PRO-Webs hosting account has a main user FTP account. There are many free FTP software applications available.. Here are a few.

FileZilla FTP http://filezilla-project.org/ - Core FTP http://www.coreftp.com/

When you set up an FTP utility you are encouraged to use your account's IP address as the host. If you are unsure of your account's IP, it can be located in the left hand column of your hosting cPanel.

For your main FTP account the username and password are synced and therefore are the same as your cPanel account, unless you change them.

Please use them HelpDesk if you are having trouble setting up or using your FTP access.
