Below is your check list before you start:
 
*#You have FTP webspace (i.e. your provider allows you to use FTP to place files in your webspace)
*#and an [[FTP tool]] (use this cross-reference to get more information)
 
From your webspace provider you will be given:
 
*FTP server '''Host name''' (this is the name that is equivalent to the w.x.y.z format Internet Protocol (=IP) address in the screen-shot below)
*'''FTP Port''' (in most cases port 21 is reserved for file transfer clients)
*'''username''' (controls access to the directories you can update)
*'''password''' (do not disclose this when you ask questions on the support forum)
*'''webspace folder / directory''' (could be something like "public_html" which is the FTP root for the file and folder structure you will create, that is different to the Universal Resource Locator (=URL) root when you look at the pagefile through the browser's port)
 
For a simple set-up, a server that uses a ''Linux'' environment is normal for displaying standard Cumulus pages (although some people use a server on their own machines using a ''Windows'' environment).
