    Settings Page

The installer uses FTP to upload the application to your server. The FTP Login group of fields receive data which allow the installer to connect to the server. Enter in FTP Server Address the name of the server (the FTP host), for example ftp.mysite.com, or else the IP address of the server if you have that information. Enter the username and password for your account on this host. The port can be left as 21, unless you are sure your FTP server uses a different port.

The Install location on FTP Server group contains fields which determine where on the target FTP server the application will be installed. The 'install folder' is the top level folder which will be created on your server and into which other files will be uploaded. You should choose where on your server this folder should be created. If there is no install folder shown, then the application should be installed into the root folder of your web site, for example 'public_html', 'htdocs', or 'www'.

Pressing the Browse button displays the following dialog:

FTP Browse for Folder

If the installer finds a folder likely to contain web files, such as public_html or www, it will be highlighted.
