Open the Site Manager, very top left icon (1),
Click on New Site (2), on the left it will say new site, type in a quick name and hit enter.
On the right hand side, change Encryption (3) to Require Explicit FTP over TLS, then enter the FTP server name members.ausics.net, you don't have to worry about entering in the port, next, enter your username in the same format as your Email address, and your password, everything else can stay as default, lastly, Click OK
