If you haven't installed Filezilla, you can download it here- http://filezilla-project.org/
Open Filezilla and go to File > Site Manager.
You will need to know which server hosts your domain. For this example, we are using the server redwood.greenhostit.com
Enter the following settings:
===========================================
Host: redwood.greenhostit.com
Port: (leave blank)
Protocol: FTP - File Transfer Protocol
Encryption: Require explicit FTP over TLS
Logon Type: Normal
User: *your username*
Password: *your password*
===========================================
- Click Connect
- Once you hit Connect for the first time the message will appear asking you to accept the server's security
certificate for redwood.greenhostit.com. Click OK.
Troubleshooting Tip #1:
- If you are behind a firewall and/or a router you will need to use a Passive mode for FTP to get a stable connection.
You can configure this setting as shown bellow:
1. Open FileZilla and go to Edit -> Settings.
2. In the Connections section, click FTP and set the Passive mode option.
Troubleshooting Tip #2:
-
Under the Filezilla
"Advanced Tab", check to see if you have "Server Type" stated as "DOS".
If so, change to Default (Autodetect).
