FTP: Connection (Optional)
  To set further options such as Firewalls:
  Click the Advanced view button
     
  Website (URL) Optional
    This is your complete website address.
Most service providers allow you direct access to your website for file transfers, but some provide an FTP address that works in the same way, in which case your full website address will be needed.
    Example:
http://www.mywebsite.com
     
  Remote folder Optional
    Typically you can't transfer files to the root of your website. Instead your website is held within a folder, which you can enter here.
    Example:
www/private
     
  Account Optional
    This is your account name. Most servers don't require an account name.
    Example:
ftpaccount
     
  Port Optional
    This is the port, or channel, that is used to send and receive FTP commands. The default value is 21. If you have a Firewall in place then the firewall may be using port 21 in which case the administrator will have allocated a different port number for the FTP commands.
    Example:
21
     
  Firewall Type Optional
    We support four types of firewall:
SOCKS4, SOCKS5, Proxy Server and Simple Pipe.

SOCKS4 is a way of communicating with the host that does not require any level of security. SOCKS5 is the same except it does require security in the form of a password.

A Proxy Server is software that acts as a gateway between you and the internet. Rather than having direct access to the internet (like you do when you dial in using a modem), the Proxy Server connects for you. This gives an additional level of security and protection.
    Example:
Proxy server
     
  Firewall host Optional
    This is the address of the firewall on the network. You must connect to the firewall, and then the firewall allows you through and onto the internet (if you pass the security).
    Examples:
popfirewall.localnetwork.com
128.0.44.255
     
  Firewall User ID Optional
    If you have a Firewall then you need to identify yourself in order to pass through it. The Firewall username may be the name that you use when you log Windows onto the local network, or the same name that you use to access your FTP host, or it may be a totally different name purely for the firewall. This is not required for SOCKS4.
    Examples:
jennifercox
jencox69
jennifercoxfirewall
     
  Firewall Password Optional
    If you have a Firewall then you will have a password that matches your Firewall Username that proves to the FTP Firewall that you are authorised to pass through it. This is not required for SOCKS4.
    Example:
centralperk
     
  Firewall Port Optional
    If you have a Firewall then it will have it's own port. For a Proxy Server this is usually the same port number as the FTP Port (21), for SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 it is usually 1080.
    Example:
21
     
  Socket library Optional
    This is the file that Windows uses to send FTP commands. You shouldn't need to change it from the default which is WSOCK32.DLL
    Example:
WSOCK32.DLL
     
    Tech Terms
FTP means File Transfer Protocol.
A Proxy Server is software that accesses the internet on your behalf, barring you from direct access.
