When configuring Core FTP, you will download an XML file (from cPanel > FTP Accounts) and tool you want to and import it to your Core FTP client. To configure the Core FTP client:
Step 1:
Download and install Core FTP.
Step 2:
Select either the FTP Configuration File or the SFTP Configuration File option and save it to your desktop. Whenever possible, we recommend using SFTP, as it is more secure.
Step 3:
Double-click (or open) on the configuration file you just downloaded.
Step 4:
Core FTP will automatically open and log you into your FTP account.
Step 5:
To import Core FTP configuration settings, click Sites⇀Site Manager. Next, right click the main window and click Import⇀Core FTP. Select the saved configuration file to import the data.
