I'm trying to give git init through the terminal and when I type this command it accuses that the 'config' and '.git' folder already exist, etc. Also when I try to use git add * it takes time to add the file, now I do not know if it's because of the git init error or because I'm doing this directly on the FTP server.

When you give an "ls" it, do these files that git accuse are there? If so, you can manually remove it with an "rm -rf".
But, what exactly do you want to do? Start a GIT repository? Or just use one that already exists? Maybe Git init is not what you want.

If you want to start a new git project, first check that the .git folder already exists in the location where you will start your git with the command ls -la .
If the folder does not exist, just start the project. git init

If there is already a git project:
To restart git from scratch, you first need to remove the previous git with the command rm -r .git .
Then you just create git: git init .
To add all the files to your stage I advise you to use git add . instead of git add * and if you have deleted files that also need to be versioned use the command git add -u to add all the files deleted to the stage or use git add --all to add all the (modified, new, deleted) files to the stage.
Then just send it to your repository.
