Sorry for the confusion. SO! The Managed WordPress is offered by godaddy to make it easier for wordpress users to kind of “take away” all of the backend work you would have to do in godaddy. Instead of launching the “web hosting” button in the godaddy account manager I launch a “managed wordpress” button which takes me directly to my wordpress dashboard. This is a really great feature but I cannot access my ftp files in godaddy or wordpress. As of right now, I really cant find my godaddy control panel, this doesn’t lend to creating a child theme in the godaddy backend…like I did with my other site (bringing it up was totally unimportant I just wanted to let everybody know that I actually do know how to create a child theme when I can access my control panel in godaddy).
I have downloaded filezilla but am not very happy about it.
I am currently in the process of trying to figure out how to create a child theme in filezilla, for godaddy…in wordpress. Its seems a little convoluted to me.
The reason my OP is so confusing is because it is a reply to a different post. I was told to create my own thread… so I copy and pasted it.

dejalive, did you ever solve this? I am having the same problem! I am currently working on two different sites, one a managed wordpress site. I CAN NOT access my FTP files what so ever. Since I know how to create a child theme from my other site (also with godaddy and wordpress) I know how easy it is when you can access your FTP files. I just talked to the godaddy support line and they told me to download filezilla then input my phpadmin credentials. Thats pretty much the only way to access my FTP…WHAT!!?? Its so easy without the managed wordpress site!!! I’m not always the most well spoken person so I am hoping that my phrasing was off and the rep was confused at what I was trying to achieve…thus the purpose for this reply. HELP!

I just did and it still did it. The problem probably is my browser actually. I am typing this on a old ibook with 10.4.1 and haven’t been able to update my browser in a VERY long time. What can I say?! I’m too cheap to buy a new computer when this one wont JUST DIE!! I’ll have to go get on a different computer someplace else just to make sure. Thank you so much MacManX!! I’m glad I posted this (even though it makes me looks pretty silly) getting on the forums is always a little scary and you helped me so much just by looking.
