Working With FTP: FileZilla

NOTE! This tutorial only works with PHP/FTP.

In this tutorial you will learn how to function, navigate and understand how to work the FTP client, FileZilla.

First, let's go ahead and Download FileZilla by clicking here.

Logging into FileZilla
Open FileZilla. If you look up top, you will see some fields. One says "Host", another says "Username", another says "Password", and the last says "Port". Under "Host", type in: "ftp.yourhost.com". Replace "yourhost.com" with your actual host's website. In my case that would be "itsadoozy.com". In the "Username" field, type in "username@yourhost.com", replace "username" with your username you made when signing up with your host. Also make sure to replace the "yourhost.com", too. In the "Password" field, simply type in your password in which you created when signing up for your host. Lastly, Leave the "Port" section empty.
The above steps should get you into your FTP server. You will know that the sign in was successful because it will say "Status: Directory listing successful".

Uploading Files into FileZilla
On the left you will see a section. This section holds files from you computer. Double click the files you want to upload onto the server. By double clicking them, they will upload onto the server.
On the right you will see another section. This section displays the files that you have uploaded to the server.

If you want a number of files all to be under a sub catagory, you will have to make a New Directory. For Example: Instead of having all my layouts appear under beautifulbroken.itsadoozy.com/lay1.php, I will make a new directory called "Layouts", and it will look like this beautifulbroken.itsadoozy.com/layouts/lay1.php. It's pretty much just catagorizing stuff into folders. So how do you do it? Go over to the right section in which holds your uploaded files (see above), and right click any folder then click on "New Directory". ( right click > New Directory ). Name the folder whatever you want. When you want files to be in that folder, be sure you have that folder open when uploading the files.
