Hi, this is Mike Callahan, Dr. File Finder and welcome to part two of our special butterscotch.com five part series on FileZilla.
Now on this segment, I’m going to look at connections. So I’m in FileZilla on my Mac but don’t forget FileZilla runs on Windows, Mac and Linux so what I do here will pertain to any version that you’re using.
So we will click over here and this far left icon is the site manager, you can also get to it by clicking file site manager.
I’m going to click on the icon and it opens up the site manager or we’ll say new site. You can see that I have some sites here but I want you to see what it’s like when you go it through, so you have to put in your host. So we’ll say the port generally is 21, if there is something different, then your ISP or whoever is having you connect will tell you. The log on type can be anonymous and I’m going to have it to be normal in which case I’ll put in my log in information so that I can log in to my site. I click these comments here so that I could say DOC’s site, that should be good.
Now under advance settings, I could tell it a local default directory, I know what I’m going to use but if you didn’t, you can click browse and move through the folders as you want until you find out where you want to download your files to and then select that. If you know a default remote directory, you could put it in and sometimes it’s easier to wait until you’re on the server and then find the directory you want a default to. Under transfer settings, many will just pick default and in some cases, you’ll need to select active and passive is a very good one for many sites. And then character set, most people pretty much leave that alone. So click OK and now it click on site manager again and here is our new site, we’ll say connect and there we are connected.
So this is managing connections in FileZilla, it’s easy, it’s quick, it’s full featured and that concludes part two.
