When the program is started a window will pop up with information on the last used FTP connection profile - these can either be altered or you could click the "New" button to create a new profile. Fill out the fields with the information you received in the welcome letter that was send to you when the subscription was created.

"Profile Name" is just a descriptive name for the profile - it can be anything you would call this connection, "Website", "Work" or something completely different.

Now it is simply a matter of clicking "Apply" to save the profile and "OK" to connect to the server.

This is done for security reasons, if it happens simply wait 20 minutes and try again.
