FTP confusion!!!

CreativeA

Hallo,
Can someone help me?

I'm probably being extra think but I can't figure out how to set up an ftp connection using dreamweaver.
My main problem is that I have no idea what the ftp address is.
I'm using the soho hosting pack from blacknight and it says that I should be able to use ftp to upload files.
Can you please help??


Oppps is this in the right section?

Read the welcome email.
Perhaps the information is provided via CPanel or whatever they have...
Have a look through http://www.blacknight.ie/tutorials.0.html

It's ftp.yourdomainname.extension (e.g. ftp.mysite.ie)

to connect to it, open a command prompt and type
ftp ftp.mysite.ie

They have already supplied you with a username and password.
You then put filename to put the file onto their website.

Hands up who got a website with Blacknight in the last two weeks

Oh I think it's going to work now..
I can access the ftp site wehn I type it in manually but when I test the connection in dreamweaver it says that the username or password is incorrect.
Is it different for uploading files?
I can't find the welcome email
