ftp address when building a page (say at Angelfire)?

Question

Hi. I'm building my first web page ever - total newb, I know - and I may want to publish / add stuff to my root directory using ftp. Angelfire didn't give me an ftp address when I signed on, though, and the help section seems quite lifeless. Anyone know how I can figure out or create my ftp address?

FTP access is very rarely a feature of free web hosting and is often highlighted when it is offered on free packages. I doubt that Angelfire supports the File Transfer Protocol and will expect you to upload and download things from your webspace via the normal HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol).

To take a guess, if you have a sub-domain (something.angelfire.com) the address would be that subdomain - using your regular username and password for the hosting and if it is in the form of angelfire.com/something then it will be the /something as your FTP username and then your regular password - but it's unlikely that it will be an available feature.
