Setting up the FTP
After having downloaded and unzipping the necessary files, upload the directory directly to your FTP in your www directory.

Upload finished and now you can configure the file config.inc.php present in this directory.
Configure the parts below:

In the lines below, you must replace the following information with your personal data: Address_permitting... , server_sql, login_sql, pass_sql

/**
*Your "phpMyAdmin" url
...
*/
$cfg['PmaAbsoluteUri'] = 'Address_permitting_access_to_phpmyadmin';

/**
* Server(s) configuration
*/
$i = 0;
// The $cfg['Servers'] array starts with $cfg['Servers'][1]. Do not use $cfg['Servers'][0].
// You can disable a server config entry by setting host to ''.
$i++;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'serveur_sql';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['port'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['socket'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'tcp';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['compress'] = FALSE;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controluser'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlpass'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'login_sql';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'pass_sql';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['only_db'] = 'login_sql';
...


example :

/**
* Your "phpMyAdmin" url
...
*/
$cfg['PmaAbsoluteUri'] = 'http://explication.com/phpMyAdmin-2.5.3/';

/**
* Server(s) configuration
*/
$i = 0;
// The $cfg['Servers'] array starts with $cfg['Servers'][1]. Do not use $cfg['Servers'][0].
// You can disable a server config entry by setting host to ''.
$i++;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'sql3';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['port'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['socket'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'tcp';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['compress'] = FALSE;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controluser'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlpass'] = '';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'explicatdb';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'UiD59rtM';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['only_db'] = 'explicatdb';
...


Conclusion

To conclude, it is highly recommended that you protect your phpmyadmin directory. If your SQL database is not protected, it may be accessible to anybody. To protect your database, follow the HtaccessProtection guide that explains how to protect directory access with authentication.
