One of the options we have access to information stored on a remote server is directly through the hosting management program . This is the case for those who want to have a website of their own. As most of the time this way of uploading and downloading files can be very slow and heavy, we do it by FTP (File Transfer Protocol).
To upload files to our hosting by FTP we only need a program like Filezilla. Its operation is very simple and is what we are going to explain to you in this article. If you're thinking about having your own website , or even install your blog on WordPress , you'll need to use a program like Filezilla. Let's see how it is used step by step.
Step 1: Go to the Filezilla website and download it
Always we entered the official website Filezilla to make sure we down a program without malware. When we enter we will find a screen like the one in the photo. We must press on Filezilla Client , which is what we will use, as we are trying to access a server from a client computer.
A new window will appear. We click on "download now" to exit the installer. It will take a few seconds for the save window to appear. We keep it on our desk.
Step 2: Install it on your computer
Once we have the installer Filezilla on our desktop, we just have to find the SFInstaller_SFFZ_filezilla_8992693_, which is an .exe and open it to begin the installation. We follow the simple steps and it will be installed in our computer.
Step 3: Find the server data, username and password
Once we open the program, the following screen will appear. At the top are four boxes that must be completed to enter our hosting and upload or download files via FTP . In order to do so, we need the server address, username and password. The port does not need to be refilled.
This information can be found in the control panel of our hosting. We searched the place hosting a site where "FTP access" (or something like that ) and there we will find the information or we have to create an FTP user . Then we write the data, we give "fast connection" and they will be recorded in the history so that we can enter more easily.
Step 4: Identify the Filezilla windows
It is not complicated to use. In the lower left window shows the files on your computer . At the top, the hard drive we are using at the local site. On the right, we have the information of the remote site (our server) and the files inside, in the bottom right.
Step 5: Drag files from side to side
If you want to upload files via FTP Filezilla it is very simple. Just select the file from the left window, and with the mouse button pressed, drag it to the right. Enter it in the directory you want it to appear. At the bottom, you will see the progression of the climb. You can upload one or many files. According to the weight of the rise , it will take more or less.
This method is much more comfortable when we have to go up, for example, hundreds or thousands of photos and do not want to do it one at a time through the control panel server, which can sometimes have restrictions maximum raise.
Normally, most maintenance of your website the CMS can make from your blog or ecommerce software for use without resorting to FTP. Anyway, be very careful not to delete anything on the remote site when you work on your blog and be sure to make a backup before upload, download or delete files.
