Configuring your website in FileZilla

FileZilla's Site Manager lets you save your FTP credentials so you can reconnect to your hosting account without re-entering them each time. This guide assumes FileZilla is already installed and open on your computer.

Open the Site Manager

1. Select the File menu.
2. Click Site Manager.

Create a folder to organise your sites

1. Click New Folder.
2. Type a name for the folder and press Enter.

Add a new site

1. Click New Site.
2. Type a name for the site entry and press Enter.
3. In the Host field, enter your server hostname (for example, ftp.yourdomain.com).
4. Set Logon Type to Normal.
5. Enter your FTP Username.
6. Enter your FTP Password, then click Connect.

FileZilla will connect to your server and save the credentials. Next time, you can reconnect by opening the Site Manager and double-clicking the site entry.
