Yes, you should be using your username and password. If you still can't connect, report back with the errors you are getting from your FTP Client...

it still doesnt work. This is what I have typed In:
Profile Name: 66.151.151.171
Host name/Address: ftp.toxic-kitty.net
Host type: Automatic detect
User ID: toxickitoxic-kitty.net
Password: -password-
Account: Blank (nothing needs to be here)
Comment: Blank (nothing needs to be here)

What am I doing wrong? I have used it before and I just followed my old one...but it doesnt work, maybe its the user ID because I want it to show up as the index page of my site..and toxicki is just username for Cpanel..anyways can someone please help?

You should not be using toxickitoxic-kitty.net to login to FTP for your main account. It should just be toxicki. You only use the userdomain.com format for usernames on FTP accounts that you create.

toxicki is your username. It's in the email everywhere.
