(Warn that username and password are sent in plain text (can AAISP spell FTPS ?)) |

The username you use (login name) is also the web site name, e.g. www.testing.me.uk. This can be any subdomain of an entry for which you have set a password, e.g. people typically make a password for the top level, e.g. testing.me.uk, but log in as www.testing.me.uk which places them in the www subdirectory automatically on login.
You then find that your web site is in the /www/ directory (assuming you used a www. subdomain as the login). If you have other subdomains, such as www2.testing.me.uk then these are in a /www2/ directory, and so on.
'''Warning:''' the username and password are sent in plain text. If you are worried by this, you might wish to use one-time passwords for web uploads.
