Most hosting services have an area you can log into to manage your site. Look for the app that manages FTP accounts. Use this to create an FTP directory on your server. This process will let you create a username for that directory and set a password. Once you created you can then use Filezilla to log into that directory by giving it the username, your ftp site address and password. Once logged in you can upload and download files. It’s a great way to securely share files that are too large to email.

Are you hosting yourself or do you have an off-site location for your web site.

- if you're hosting yourself and only purchased the site name then you need a webserver / fileserver PC system with at least 2 NIC one for the internal (LAN) network and one for the web/file server depending on what your site is for and the type of content, and you can modify the content directly on the server or use another PC and login to the server via an internal share on a private network.

- if you're being hosted off site then they need to tell you what the "backdoor" is into the servers so to speak so you can begin uploading your content, they (the host site) need to give you the setup info for you to be able to log in and edit your site.

you need to contact the server admins and ask them to set up your login username & password and protocol etc. (ie. FTPS on port 990 etc.)

- ie. where I work our pages & content are hosted on off site servers and I have both FTPVoyager (rhinosoft) and FileZilla, the offsite servers are running ServU (rhinosoft) and I log in & transfer content & page updates through FTPS.

How can I test that my server can be reached from the internet?

Answer by Artemaria09/02/2011
It's not possible to check the accessibility of the server by connecting from inside the local network (or even localhost) by entering the external IP in a client. Reason is that most firewalls and/or routers only forward ports for requests coming from outside the internal network. So you would have to connect to your server from an external machine. You can test the accessibility of your server using the free service from http://ftptest.net/

I'm behind a router and nobody can connect to my server or transfer files / directory listings
09/02/2011 by maxkitty · 1 answers · Follow
Answer by JGebauer09/02/2011
You have to configure your router to forward the ftp port (default: 21) to the server machine. Further you have to forward a port range for passive mode transfers. You can specify this port range on the "passive mode settings" page in the settings dialog in the server interface. In most cases, a range like 5000-5100 is sufficient. Most likely, FileZilla can't determine the external IP address if behind a router. In this case you have to enter the IP address (or your host name) on the passive mode page in the settings dialog. In case you've a dynamic IP (most dial-up users), you can also choose to retrieve the ip address from a website.

I'm behind a firewall and nobody can connect to my server or transfer files / directory listings

Answer by DanielSimon09/02/2011
You have to configure your firewall to allow incoming connections on the ftp port (default: 21), as well as allowing outgoing connections from the server. In FTP Active Mode, FileZilla Server tries to use a port one less than the ftp port for outgoing connections. If that fails it tries to use a port one larger than the ftp port and after that it requests a port from windows. It may be best to allow all outgoing connections from the server. Further you have to allow a port range for incoming connections for passive mode transfers. You can specify this port range on the "passive mode settings" page in the settings dialog in the server interface. In most cases, a range like 5000-5100 is sufficient. With certain firewalls, it may be possible that FileZilla can't determine the external IP address. In this case you have to enter the IP address (or your host name) on the passive mode page in the settings dialog. In case you've a dynamic IP (most dial-up users), you can also choose to retrieve the ip address from a website.

I've just installed the server and after starting the interface, it asks for a server address.

Answer by PollyP09/02/2011
Despite administrating the server on the local machine, the interface can also be used to administrate remote servers. But you will most likely want to administrate your local server. In this case enter 127.0.0.1 as server address. For the server port, you have to enter the same port number you did specify during installation for the admin port. (default: 14147)

I can't start FileZilla under Windows 95, 98, ME, NT4 or 2000, it terminates with a runtime error.
09/02/2011 by KCornell · 1 answers · Follow
Answer by AlbertAzose09/02/2011
The most recent versions of FileZilla no longer support Windows 9x/ME/NT4/2000. Please consider upgrading your OS to Windows XP or higher, especially since the older Windows versions are no longer supported by Microsoft. Using older versions of FileZilla is not recommended due to known security vulnerabilities.

Why won't FileZilla start anymore?
09/02/2011 by SaideeDay · 1 answers · Follow
Answer by JPhillippy09/02/2011
This could happen if for some reason your FileZilla installation or the settings get corrupted. First try to reinstall FileZilla, this won't change your settings. If that does not help, delete FileZilla's settings directory (see above). Notice that all your settings and sites are lost if you do this without taking a backup.

Where does FileZilla store all its sites and settings?
09/02/2011 by maxkitty · 1 answers · Follow
Answer by PPrashanth09/02/2011
The location of FileZilla's settings directory depends on your operating system. On most systems, sites and settings are stored in the ~/.filezilla directory. The odd exception is Windows, where the settings are stored in the %APPDATA%/FileZilla directory.

How can I share network drives?
09/02/2011 by justsharon · 1 answers · Follow
Answer by AlbertAzose09/02/2011
Generally sharing network drives is not recommened, as all data has to be transferred twice. Just install FileZilla Server on the other machine instead.
If you still want to share a network drives with FileZilla Server, make sure the account FileZilla Server runs under has access to the network drive. You can change the account FileZilla Server uses on the service page in the management console of Windows.
However, even then sharing drives might not work since Windows networking has some bugs.

How do aliases work?
09/02/2011 by justsharon · 1 answers · Follow
Answer by PollyP09/02/2011
Let's assume you have two shared folders: c:\ftproot is your homedir and d:\myfiles is the second one.
In order to display an alias to d:\myfiles in your homedir, add /myalias as alias in the second column to the right of d:\myfiles. A new folder with the name myalias will appear in your homedir with the contents of d:\myfiles
