This is an option that allows restricted access to a remote system, if the system allows it. Make sure this option is not selected in your client, as you will want full access to your Server. Press the connect button on your FTP client and you should be logged in to your Server. You should see the contents of your home directory displayed in the remote window. If your FTP client did not connect, check the information listed above for accuracy, or consult your FTP client documentation.
Binary mode is for transferring binary files, such as graphics, executable programs, or zip files.
Most good FTP clients can tell what type of file you are trying to transfer and switch modes automatically. You should see a file in that directory called default.htrm. This is the default page that we created for you when we first activated your Server. It is also the first page you see when you connect to your Server with a Web browser. Most FTP clients allow you to create new directories, remove empty directories, and delete and rename files on both the local and remote systems.
