If you are a newbie in Blog or Website setup in you own hosting; then you might get yourself a little bit messed up with the whole file uploading or using process of FileZilla Free FTP Client.
FileZilla is a free FTP client which allows you to upload any files on your hosting or server. Filezilla has been the most popular free ftp client since it’s lunching in the Internet world for it’s easy to use features.
All of the functions of Filezilla is quite straight forward and easy to maintained without any harassment.
1. Firstly you have to download the Free FileZilla FTP Client from here- Click This Link. Don’t forget to download the latest version of FileZilla Client 3.3 since the Security is matter. If you download any older versioned software, you are in fault by default.
2. If you use Windows operating system then you must have to download the Windows supported FileZilla. There are download options for the Mac & Linux users too. Make sure that, your operating system is supported with the updated FileZilla FTP Client.
3. Now Install the Software and open it. (I will give you idea about the Windows Versioned FileZilla FTP Client).
4. Fill the Box with the required information. Fill the first box named “Host” by your website URL without the WWW. For example- xxxxxx.com . Remember, use the exact website name here which is affiliated or connected with your hosting space. Respectively fill the next box which is named as “Username” by using your hosting CPanel’s username and fill the other next box named “Password” with your hosting Cpanel’s Password. See the image below-
5. No need to put anything in the “Port” box. Let it stay empty.
6. Now click on the tab named “Quickconnect”. A window will be derived which is look like the image below-
7. If you see clockwise then you find the first box named as Local Site (Box A). In local site all of the Drives of your computer can be seen.
8. The second box of FileZilla FTP Client (Clockwise) named as Remote site (Box B). In the Remote Site Box you will find all of your blog or website hosted on your hosting space. Now extend the folder existed on it and find a folder named “public_html”. Now extend the public_html folder by pressing the + button located just before the folder. After extending the folder you will find all of your domains and subdomains there that you hosted. Extend any website you want by pressing the + button and find your desired folder where or from where you will upload or delete your files. Just click upon the folder, then it will be extended now straight in the below’s box (Box C) (3rd box if you count your box as clockwise).
9. Now go to the fist box (Box A) named “Local site” where your hard drive exist. Now click on the drive’s folder to show your expected files that you would like to upload on your website via FileZilla FTP client. The extended contents of the Local Site’s Drive (Box A) will be found at another box (Box D) which is located just below the Box A.
10. Now Drag a File which will be uploaded to the hosting space from your hard drive from Box D and drop the file at the desired folder in the Box C. This step is crucial because as if you are a newbie, you might not know on which directory of your website a file should be uploaded to work fine. If you want to upload something on your website’s root directory, then drag your file from the Box D and place in Box C but not in any specific folder. I mean, in Box C you will find several folders of your website, so place your files at the outside of these folders to keep your file in the root directory of the domain. Similarly place your files on the specific folder of Box C if you know that what you are going to do.
