An FTP account creates a folder on the www level of your site that allows external users that know the password to upload and download files from that location. Change your password if you think that your account is being used incorrectly.
To add an FTP account:
Click on the FTP accounts link in the FTP Menu area.
Enter the name of the FTP account in the FTP username field and the password for the account in the Password field.
Click on the Add button. Click on the FTP accounts link to return to the FTP Accounts window to confirm that it has been created.
