Do you already have an FTP program (such as SmartFTP, FileZilla, CuteFTP, WSFTP, etc.) installed on your local computer? If not, you can download one and install it in your computer - (SmartFTP (http://smartftp.com), CuteFTP (http://cuteftp.com) or FileZilla (http://filezilla.sourceforge.net)) and try to connect to your hosting provider's server over FTP and be able to confirm that FTP connection

is working properly at your side and no firewall is blocking you to view your shop files in the server.
