How to setup FileZilla to download/upload by FTP from your site at 040 Hosting in just a few easy steps.
Download the latest version of FileZilla FTP client here:
Note that in the below example we will use an example site to connect to.
Please replace: yoursite.tld with your actual domain name.
Screenshots may have changed in later releases.
Go to: File - Site manager
Click on the button: New Site, you will not see a new entry in your site
manager in blue, you can now name it the way you like; we call it
yoursite.tld in our example.
After confirming the name by pressing enter you can fill in the fields on the
right;
Host: ftp.yoursite.tld
Port: 21
Server Type: FTPES - (File Transfer over explicit TLS/SSL)
More about different configuration types can be found here: http://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Network_Configuration
Note that FTPES will build up a secure connection, a security certificate will popup for the server. You can choose to accept it for all future connections to this FTP session, or you can choose to see the certificate each time you login. When choosing a normal FTP connection your details will be send plaintext over
the line, while this is in general faster it also could be problematic as the data is not send encrypted over the internet. Please select under “Transfer Settings” the connection to : Passive
Logon type: Normal
User: your username
Password: your password
This is all you have to do.
