Need help figuring out how to play in an online league for me and my dad.

Hi guys, I could really use some help setting up an online league for me and my dad so we can play from our own computers. I am not terrible with computers, but I'm not a wizard either! I am new to Franchise hockey Manager. My dad and i have been waiting for NHL to come up with franchise mode for 2 people and we stumbled across this game.
We both purchased the game already.
I understand that I am the commissioner, i create 2 GM's and assign them to 2 different teams. When I try to learn how to create the online league, I get a bit lost. I don't know how to fill out the online league FTP options. I'm not sure what FTP is either. I'm lost when it comes to putting in your HOST and PORT, etc.
I believe this game can be saved to my google drive? That's easier? If we can get that far.
It has been pretty frustrating trying to figure this out. I would have thought I would have read a feed like this already.... why aren't you guys having this problem? is filling out that FTP options page common knowledge? lol
Thanks for any help you guys can provide...

This may be a dumb question, but have you checked the manual? Hope you're enjoying the game.

A member here Fidel Montoyo provides turnkey online league set up services. His rates seem very fair IMO.

Edit; key benefit is your history is stored away from computer failure.

Don't feel bad.....maybe if you could use googledrive or onedrive it would be easy and people would use this MUCH needed feature.

You cannot play head to head and the online option, well you see how friendly it is.....

Yup wanted to play with my elderly dad.....not an option......

I wonder why the functionality is disabled by default (security)
