    Hi,

    I have made a lot of websites with wordpress before,usually via login on my server and then installing wordpress on that domain and then entering the backend.

    But now, i want to make a website and i have only the ftp with the ftp server and the login info, and i have mySQL Database with login info and phpadmin.

    I would like to know how i can make a wordpress website and be able to work on it via the backend like i normally do.

    Many Thanks!!!!!

    To setup a ftp you only need the info from your webhost. It’s usually the same login and pass as your cpanel, the address is usually ftp.yourwebsitename.com and there’s no need for a port. If it doesn’t work there’s most likely some type of information in your cpanel telling you how to setup your ftp. Use filezilla for your ftp.

    Then once you access your files on your server you can just go into public_html and unzip wordpress in there or within a subfolder.

    You’ll also need to create a database on your server (usually done through your webhost cpanel) and then refer the info into wpconfig.php.

    Accessorily, most if not all webhost provide access to your server files the same way ftp do using your cpanel, so if an ftp is too complicated for you just use your webhost cpanel
