How to Install WordPress With FTP

1. Visit Wordpress.net and download the latest copy of WordPress. For Windows users, this is a .ZIP file. Unzip the file onto your computer.
2. Log into your web hosting control panel and locate the MySQL database tool. This is often called 'phpMyAdmin' or just 'MySQL Databases.' Create a new database for WordPress to use. Copy down the database name, your MySQL username and user password.

3. Start your FTP client. The most popular and widely used FTP client is FileZilla. In FileZilla, go to 'File' and then 'Site Manager' and fill out the form with your credentials. The server is usually 'ftp.yourdomain.com,' and your username and password are in most cases the same as you use to log into your web hosting panel. Click 'Connect' and then in the right-hand pane, double-click the 'public_html' subdirectory. Find your WordPress folder in the left-hand pane. Drag and drop this folder into the right-hand pane. This puts WordPress in the following location: http://yourdomain.com/wordpress. You can change the name of the 'wordpress' subdirectory or move its contents up into 'public_html' to make your site directly accessible from the domain.
4. Visit your new WordPress website to begin its installation on the server. The address is as follows:http://example.com/wordpress/wp-admin/install.phpFill out the form with your database name, MySQL username and password. Leave the 'Database Host' field set to 'localhost.' Leave the 'Table Prefix' field blank. Click 'Submit' to configure your site with this database information. Fill out the next form with your desired site name, username and password that you will use to log into WordPress.
