Configuring Your FTP ? You need to tell your FTP software few information before you can use it. In software parlance - its called 'configuring your FTP software'. A typical ftp software needs following information for configuration:

• Address of your web-site: You may provide IP no (if you have it) or ftp.yourdomain.com It is always better to use ftp.yourdomain.com as IP address may change without any notice.
