The next step is to get familiar with FileZilla's window layout. If all works well, you will notice that the right 'column' switched from Not connected to any server to displaying a list of files and directories.

Note: If your login information specifies a protocol like SFTP or FTPS, enter the hostname as follows: sftp://hostname or ftps://hostname respectively.įileZilla will now try to connect to the server. You may leave the Port: field empty unless your login information specifies a certain port to use. We will use the quickconnect bar for establishing the connection:Įnter the hostname into the quickconnect bar's Host: field, the username into the Username: field as well as the password into the Password: field. This is our (fictional) login data - please use your own data instead if you want to actively follow the tutorial. The first thing to do is connecting to a server. We assume that you already installed and started FileZilla Client ( installation instructions). If you already know how to use an FTP client, you may want to read the more advanced usage instructions instead.
