FTP, FileZilla and your Website | Managing your Site

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is the fancy name given to 'sending your files to the internet'. Basically. FileZilla is the program I use to do this task, and it is a walk in the park. Transferring your files is a serious matter though, choose the wrong transfer method and your files will look like swiss cheese in the browser!

I show you how to setup your local files, your remote files, what transfer settings you need and what to watch out for. Just the basics.

You don't really need 5 windows open with Filezilla

Very easy to use commands on top to shut and open where desirable

I often just have my pc's files and server (public html) only!
