<h2>Setting up FTP</h2>

<p>To be able to access photos hosted at an FTP site, you'll need to set up FTP in Open Live Writer</p>

<p>You will need the following information:</p>
    <ul>

        <li>User name -- usually your ftp user name</li>
        <li>Password -- FTP password</li>
        <li>Path of the publishing folder: -- often /html/images but can be any folder.  Note, you can get this from OpenLiveWriter once you have enterd the above information.</li>
        <li>Web address of the publishing folder: -- often http://www.hostname.domain/images/</li>
    </ul>
