You may want to click on profile and change your forum name to something other than your email address. That may help you keep down your spam.

Are you using Direct FTP, the free FTP, or something like Filezilla?

If you are using Direct FTP, the nickname is something you create so you can tell which site you are going to use. (I have four sites and the names I use tell me which site I am uploading or downloading to/from).

The server is domainname.com (if your site is mysite.org use that) without any http or www.

The user name is something you created with GoDaddy or they created it and gave it to you.

The password is something you can set when you login to GoDaddy, but they may have given you a temporary password.

You should not need to change anything else in Direct FTP.

Hope that helps.
