14.13. What do I do when admin and FTP login credentials are asked from me?

If you are asked to send admin and FTP login credentials, please send them in the following format:

Admin and FTP login credentials format

Admin Login URL:

Admin Login User Name:

Admin Login Password:

FTP Login Address:

FTP Login User Name:

FTP Login Password:

If you do not have FTP credentials and if you use cPanel, you can send your cPanel login credentials, as many of the customers do when they do not have/know FTP credentials, in the format below:

cPanel login credentials format

cPanel Login URL:

cPanel Login User Name:

cPanel Login Password:

Note

If you are not comfortable sending cPanel login credentials, please create an FTP account and send their credentials.

If you are not comfortable sending any credentials, please enable debugging in your site, reproduce the problem, upload your debug file to somewhere, and send the file’s download URL. How to create the debug file is explained in Debugging errors page.

Important

Please make sure the credentials work by going to the login pages, entering the user name and password, and hitting the login button. If we cannot reach the pages or we cannot login, we cannot help you.
