Configuring an FTP Client to Access Your kinetic
Account
Choosing an FTP Client
You may use any FTP client that supports long user IDs. A long
user ID is in the form of "username@some.org". The choice of client
is yours. For those who are interested, WS-FTP LE has been tested and works just
fine. Windows FTP may also work and does not require installation of a separate
program.
FTP can be used to store and retrieve files in your kinetic
account home directory. Additionally, those accounts that are granted Web publishing
permissions will use FTP to upload and/or download files for the website(s).
Configuring an FTP Client
Once you have chosen an FTP client, the profile or configuration
values for your client will need to be set. The steps to reach these settings
vary depending on the FTP client you decide to use.
In your FTP client, set the following values:
Host Name/Address.
Enter ftp.your-kinetic-service-domain-name for this
value. If your host name were some.org, you would enter ftp.some.org
for this value.
Example: ftp.wbt.kinetic.more.net
User ID
Your FTP User ID will be your complete kinetic e-mail
address. This address was provided to you when your account was created.
Host Type
Use either Automatic detect or Unix.
Password
Your password for FTP will be the same as your password for
accessing e-mail. It is strongly recommended that you do not save your password
in your FTP profile. Some FTP clients allow you to do this, but anyone gaining
access to your computer would then be able to FTP to your kinetic account.

will be using the WS_FTP LE client, you will want to consider giving new account
users the URL to this section to assist them with configuring their FTP clients.
