Using a client to connect will often lead to faster uploads and downloads to the FTP server, and FileZilla is one of the most popular FTP servers available. To download it, go to https://filezilla-project.org in your computer's web browser, then do the following: Click Download FileZilla Client Click Download FileZilla Client on the subsequent page. Click the green Download button below the "FileZilla" heading. FileZilla is the example for this article, but you can use virtually any FTP client in the same way. This process will vary depending on your computer's operating system: Windows Double-click the downloaded FileZilla setup file, click Yes when prompted, click I agree, click Next four times, uncheck the box on the Driver Update page, click Next, uncheck the box on the WinZIP page, and click Next. Mac Double-click the downloaded FileZilla DMG file, click and drag the FileZilla app icon onto the "Applications" folder icon, and follow any on-screen instructions until FileZilla begins installing. Once FileZilla is installed, click Finish with the "Start FileZilla now" box checked, or double-click the FileZilla app icon on the desktop (Windows) or in the Applications folder (Mac) to open it. At the top of the FileZilla window, fill out the following fields: Host This is where the FTP address goes. Username You'll enter the login username here (if there is no username, enter anonymous). Password The password to log into the FTP server goes here (leave blank if there isn't a password). Port The FTP server's port number goes here. It's near the upper-right corner of the FileZilla window. FileZilla will begin connecting to your server. Once you are connected, you will see the FTP directory tree on the right side of the window. The top frame shows the tree structure, while the bottom frame shows the contents of each folder. At this point, you're ready to begin uploading and downloading files. Each time you change folders, a small command is sent to the server. This means there will be a slight delay when moving between folders. You can enter in an exact location in the bar at the top of the right side. If you don't have permission for certain directories, you will receive an error when you try to access them.
