What is the account file in FileZilla’s site manager? What do I need to do there?

Well Shealee, the Logontype for Account is a mystery to me. Even after a few minutes of Googling and asking some of my friends I wasn’t able to find an answer for you. This feature wasn’t even included in FileZilla over a year ago, so I can only assume that it’s not a common featured used by more than a handful of people. I looked into FileZilla’s help documents from the latest version and it left out any information about the Account mode. Below is what Filezilla did have concerning the other two modes anonymous and normal.

If you select anonymous, you can't enter a username and password. In this case the username always is anonymous. When you select Normal, you have to enter a username and if required, a password.
It’s a very basic explanation of the modes, so please let me go on to further explain these two modes. Anonymous is for FTP servers that allow anonymous logging in to FTP. This feature lets anyone who has the FTP address to log in and view the files on the server and sometimes even lets the anonymous user upload files, depending on the server settings. This usually isn’t allowed for most shared-hosting accounts, but sometimes it can be purchased as an additional service for a small price. The normal mode lets you login using a username and usually in combination with a password. This makes the FTP user identify themselves and helps protect the server from unauthorized access. If you are trying to access a shared hosting account via FTP you will probably need to use this method to log in and enter the details provided to you by your host. If you use Dreamhost you can visit this page to see your FTP users and what host they are on. The host (FTP address) is determined by the machine name listed. Simply use the machine name followed by “.dreamhost.com“.

If anyone reading this post has some information regarding the Account Logontype please post a comment or contact me using the Request page.
