| BulletProof FTP from BP Software is a lean, fast FTP Client. Like most other FTP clients featured on the Modoweb support pages, you can try a 30-day evaluation copy before you decide to lay down 20 to 30 bucks for the software, you can get your trial copy for the Mac from the BP Site. Here are the instructions to get you up and running with the software. |
| |
| 1. After you have downloaded and installed BulletProof FTP, launch the program from your Applications Folder. You will first see this Welcome screen which allows you to start the 30-day trial or enter a registration code if you have purchased it. Click Start Trial to set up your connection. |
|
|
| |
| 2. In the Site Manager window, click on the New Site button to set up a new connection to your FTP server. |
|
|
| |
| 3. Here we will fill in the neccessary information for you to connect. In the Label for site field, put in any label you want to call this connection. In the FTP host address field enter in your host address, this takes the form of ftp.yourdomain.com, where yourdomain is the domain you signed up for; we have used ftp.mobiusdonut.com as an example. In the FTP site user name and password fields, enter in the user name and password you were assigned when you signed up with Modoweb. Leave FTP site port set to 21 and Login type clicked on Normal. Review your information and click the Connect button to continue. |

| 4. You will only see this screen if you have configured other FTP clients on your system, it’s up to you if you want to allow Keychain access, here we chose Always Allow. |
|
|
| |
| 5. You are now connected to your FTP server. The left-side panel shows local files on your computer, and the right-side panel shows remote files on your FTP server. Double-click on the public_html folder to open it, all files associated with your website will be placed in this folder. |
|
|
| |
| 6. To upload a file or folder, simply highlight it and click the Upload button in the upper menu, or simply drag and drop the file or folder from the left panel to the right panel. To download files from the remote FTP server, do the same, but click the Download button, or drag and drop the files from the right panel to the left panel. That’s it! You now have the basic skills needed to upload files for your website. If you need further information about the features of BulletProof FTP, consult BP Software’s Support page. |
