As one of the most widely used FTP clients, FileZilla serves as a common go-to solution for transferring files between computers over the internet. FileZilla achieves this transferring capability by linking a client with a server so the user can send files back and forth between the two.
Installing FileZilla is similar to downloading and installing any piece of software on your Windows, Mac, or Linux computer: You click the Download button, save the installation file to your hard drive, then run that file to install it.
First, open a web browser and visit the official FileZilla website (filezilla-project.org). This homepage provides two obvious Download buttons for you to choose from. Pick the one that says Download FileZilla Client (not the Server option).
After clicking your chosen Download button, a popup window appears asking you to decide which package of FileZilla to download. You can simply download FileZilla without any documentation, or you can opt to receive a comprehensive PDF manual with your download files.
Save the file in a memorable place on your computer, then go to that location and click on the program file to complete the installation. All operating systems are different, so you may have the Run the file, simply click on it, or choose an Install option.
As you can see, several links are available for you to find help during your use of FileZilla. For instance, there are links for asking questions and reporting bugs, along with documentation links for basic usage instructions, configuring FileZilla and your network, and further documentation.
This is called the Quickconnect section, as it offers a way to type in host server credentials from the main screen. However, it defaults to an FTP connection, so you may see an error if an SFTP connection or other type of protocol is required.
The Quickconnect tool in FileZilla should work just fine for those comfortable using FTP to transfer files. However, some hosts (including Kinsta) use SFTP as its protocol to ensure all file transfers are encrypted and secure at all times.
Most of these areas are interactive in some way, meaning you can either left- or right-click on sections like the Local Directory Contents, Message Log, or Transfer Queue to bring up an additional menu with even more options.
For instance, FileZilla users often start by working in the Directory Trees or Directory Contents areas. Right-clicking a file in the Local Directory Tree or Contents sections loads a menu with options to complete the following:
You can also move Local Directory Contents to the Remote Directory Contents or reverse the operations by transferring items from the remote server to the local files.
For both, you can click on the Browse buttons to find a directory inside the local or remote environments. This way, whenever you open up FileZilla with the same credentials, it will automatically display those directories from the start.
You have the option to Force UTF-8 or make a Custom Charset, but we highly recommend sticking to the Autodetect setting, seeing as how using the wrong charset could improperly present filenames in FileZilla.
The fifth button from the left in the FileZilla Control Panel looks like multiple blue and green arrows pointing in opposite directions. Selecting this button toggles the display of the Transfer Queue at the bottom of the FileZilla interface.
For instance, you might need to upload a collection of assets to your server from a local machine. After the fact, an excellent way to check if it worked is to run the Directory Comparison tool. It stacks similar or identical files next to each other and provides a green shade if it finds a duplicate.
In FileZilla, users can download entire directories or individual files from the Remote Directory Tree or the Remote Directory Contents module; this is essentially everything on the right side of the screen.
Your reasoning for downloading, viewing, or editing this file may vary. Some people simply want to better understand what types of files are inside their sites. Other times, you may need to download a file, edit its content, and re-upload it back to the server. You also may find that some files get corrupted or hacked. This could require you to download or view the file to inspect it for potential issues.
The Download functionality takes a few seconds depending on the file size. The file eventually ends up in the file directory you have linked and opened on the remote site side of FileZilla. You should now be able to access it from your computer or through the FileZilla interface.
This allows you to place multiple files in the queue from different locations before clicking on the Process Queue button to download everything in the queue. Much like dragging and dropping, the Process Queue button (when working with remote site files) completes a standard download to the local site.
Another way to manage your files on the remote site is by checking the file permissions and modifying them for enhanced website security. In short, file permissions tell your server who can Read, Write, and Execute files.
As we already know, the file directory and contents to the left side of the FileZilla interface are a direct duplicate of the file directory on your computer. Therefore, we can upload any of these files, like images, HTML documents, or videos, to the remote site, all without having to open up your content management system or hosting dashboard.
You should always start by bringing up the desired file in the File Directory Contents section of FileZilla. Then, right-click that individual file or complete directory to see a dropdown menu with several options.
One of the main reasons to use FileZilla is for uploading files from a local computer to a remote server (like for a website). Remaining in the same local site section, you can either choose a full directory or individual file, then right-click your choice to view the menu once again.
Overall, you can expect FileZilla to complete all file transfers with ease in Auto mode. The transfers are done in text or raw data formats; the chosen data format depends on the file type uploaded or downloaded.
Opening files from both your computer and a remote server swells FileZilla with an ever-increasing list of options to edit or transfer. As you open more folders, it can become somewhat intimidating or confusing for even the most experienced developer.
Filtering allows you to choose specific file types to display on the FileZilla screen. That way, you have a chance to hide most files you would never use, or hone in on specific directories that you want to access more frequently.
The Remote Directory field requires you to copy and paste the desired directory or file structure, which you can find by going back to the main FileZilla page. They list the entire directory address under the Remote Site dropdown above the Remote Directory Tree.
Again, choose the Site Manager button in the upper right corner of the main FileZilla window. Next, go to the My Sites folder and click on the New Site button.
The File Search panel offers a multitude of settings for getting more specific with your searches. For example, you can choose to change from Filename to one of the following:
Going with the Filesize option allows you to seek out files that are larger or smaller than a specific size. The Date option lets you type in date ranges to locate files that were created during certain time periods.
These are some of your primary search parameters seeing as how they specify what must be done with the entry in the next field. As an example, you may want to only find Filenames that end in PNG, getting rid of all other non-PNG files.
These pertain to the fact that you can include multiple search conditions in the box below. As such, using the Match All of the Following option requires the search to align with every search condition.
As with the Local Search functionality, the window asks you to fill in the Search Directory for your Remote Search. You must paste in this specific directory or type it in yourself.
The last type of searching tool on FileZilla is called Comparative Search. This lets you add multiple search conditions and run those rules in both the local and remote directories. The results get displayed side by side for you to analyze the differences or uncover which one you actually need to use for a project.
In that case, go back to the Site Manager to click on the Connect button once more. This should establish a new connection as long as the FTP credentials are still correct from before.
In the new window, go to the Connection tab. Find the Timeout in Seconds field to give FileZilla more time to process connections. You can also adjust the number of retries to see if it will help.
As we know, the Quickconnect button, by default, only allows for the use of standard FTP. Therefore, you must go into the Site Manager to adjust to the right protocol used by the server or your hosting company.
