How to use FTP using Filezilla
In this guide we are going to learn how to use FTP using FileZilla. The first thing you will need is an FTP client. This is a program that allows you to connect to a host server’s FTP connection. You can choose to use different FTP clients but they will all operate almost the same, but we recommend FileZilla. Please be sure to select one that allows for FTP over SSL (FTPS) as a secure encryption option within its settings.
How to use FTP using FileZilla
Follow these steps to connect to the FTP server with FileZilla (make sure to get the “client” version):
1) Download and install FileZilla on your computer.
2) Open FileZilla and enter the FTP login details in the fields located at the top of the application.
4) Click the “Quickconnect” button.
Your computer connects to your web server. The directory of folders and files from your local computer appears on the left of the FileZilla FTP client window, and the directory of folders and files on your web server is displayed on the right.
You can now transfer files and folders between your local computer and your hosting account by dragging them from the left pane to the right.
That’s it, now you have learned how to use FTP using FileZilla.
