There are 2 main parts:

Creating an FTP user

Connecting to the server

Creating an FTP User:

Step 1

Log in to your Rebel account, then select "Products" in the top-left corner. In the top toolbar, you will see “Hosting”. Please select this. 

Step 2

Click the purple button that reads "Control Panel". This will open the Hosting OS in a new tab. 

Step 3. 

For the domain you want to create an FTP user for, please select the "Dashboard" menu and find the "FTP" option.

Step 4

Here, you will have a default FTP user. If you would like to use it, click on it and enter a password. OR If you would like to create an additional user, click "Add an FTP account".

Step 5

Enter a username and password. This must be unique to the server (not just your account), so if you choose something common like "mike," it may already be taken. Here, you can also choose which directory it has access to, for example, if you would like to grant someone FTP access to only a specific directory.

How do I connect an FTP application?

First, you will need an FTP program. There are many; some common ones are FileZilla and CyberDuck. For this example, we will be using FileZilla.

Step 1

Enter your credentials from the section above.

Host: Your nameservers (If you are unsure, please follow this article: What are my nameservers?)

Username: The username you created above in Step 3. 

Password: The password you created above in Step 3.

Port Number: You can leave blank and click "Quick Connect", or enter the number 21.

Step 2

The right hand side of your window shows the server. Double click on the directory that contains your website (it's usually your domain name or httpdocs). You can then either drag and drop the files from your desktop into the right hand side of your Filezilla window, or navigate to your files on the left, and then drag them into your server on the right.
