Configuring your website in FlashFXP
This tutorial assumes you already have FlashFXP and have it running on your computer, but not connected to another server
Click Sites at the top of the FlashFXP window
Now let's learn how to configure our website in FlashFXP
Then select Site Manager
Click the New Group button
The Site Manager window opens up
To help manage our websites, let's create a new group
Enter a Group name for this new group
Then click OK
Here is the new group we just created
Once the new group is selected, click the New Site button
Enter a name for the new website
Then click OK
Type the FTP address of the website here
Enter the username of the website's hosting account here
The new website name appears here, under the group we created earlier
Now we have to fill in the details of our website, so FlashFXP can connect to it via FTP
Note: If the domain name has not yet propagated, you'll have to enter the website's IP address instead of the domain name
If entering the IP address, do not include ftp. before it..... just enter the IP address
Enter the password here
Enter the remote path where your website files should be uploaded within your hosting account
Select the Local Path, which is the location on your computer that you want displayed in the left side window of FlashFXP
Then click OK
..... then click the Apply button
Double check to make sure everything has been entered properly.....
Click Close
Click the Connect button (looks like a lightning bolt)
That's it! We've successfully configured our website in FlashFXP
Select Demo Webs, the group we created earlier
There is the website we just configured. Clicking on it would initiate an FTP connection
This is the end of the tutorial. You now know how to configure a website in FlashFXP, for the purposes of establishing an FTP connection
