Field	Values	Notes
Host	ftp.hostedftp.com or yourdomain.hostedftp.com or ftp.yourdomain.com	The Hosted~FTP~ service will connect your FTP client to the nearest location.
Username	Your username OR email address
Password	Your password
Ports (for open FTP)	FTP: 21, 1200-2000	For basic FTP, ports 21, 1200 – 2000 must be open (these ports are also used when connecting with FTPS)
Transfer Mode	We support both active and passive mode. We recommend choosing a passive mode (PASV) to minimize issues with firewalls that block FTP connections	If you are unable to connect using passive mode, please note that in addition to port 21 we use ports 1200 to 2000 for data transfers. You may need to update your firewall configuration to allow access to ports 21 and 1200 to 2000 for the TCP/IP protocol. Please see this link for further details on the differences between active and passive mode.
