Click the 'Site Manager' button to open the site manager so you can create your site.
The 'Site Manager' window will pop up. Click the 'New Site' button. This is where you need to enter your web hosting account information.
- Host: ENTER YOUR FTP SERVER HERE

The list of files/folders on the right is the view of your web hosting account. The list of files/folders on the left is the view of your local machine. Please note the details in the log section (the green text) as it lists your current web site's quota. This information appears when you first login and when an error message will appear if you have reached your quota limit.
- Transfering Files
You can upload or download a file by double-clicking on it. It will be added to the transfer queue and the transfer starts automatically. To transfer folders and/or multiple files, select them and right-click the selection. Then you can click on Upload/Download in the popup menu.
You can also drag the files from one side and drop them on the other side. To add files to the queue so that they will be transferred later, select them and click Add to Queue from the popup menu. You may also drag the files directly into the queue.
