Your Windows Explorer is basically any folder you open. Create a New Folder or click one already nearby to bring up a window.

Click in your folder’s address bar and just like using a web browser, type the following:

ftp:\\yourdomain.com

Press ENTER.

You should now see a new panel requesting login info.

Refer back to the webpage or browser with your WA FTP info open.

Use the FTP username and password only. Copy and paste, if you’re able, to prevent spelling errors. (feel free to click Save Password so you don’t have to keep logging into your FTP module in the future)

Click Log On.

After a few seconds, a folder should come up with “The Internet” (or something close) at the start of your address bar, followed by your site’s domain name to the right.

You should see a folder named “http” or something close to it. Click It to access your website’s contents.

WARNING: Don’t delete anything! Just search for your most recent contents in your folder to copy and save elsewhere. This copied backup will come in handy should any website updates cause you to lose files. Feel free to backup the entire folder of course, if you have the space to save all that content.
