**Servername:** This can be whatever you like

**Connect Using:** Make sure you select 'ftp over SSL/TLS (explicit encryption)' from the drop down menu

**FTP Address:** This should be your servers hostname or IP address, for example "yourservername.nh-serv.co.uk"

**Username:** Your FTP Username

**Password:** Your FTP Password

**Root Directory:** Important! Leave this blank

**Web URL:** Your sites URL

You will also need to make sure that the passive mode check box is ticked.
