Tutorial Hosting
All right guys welcome to another training on this channel in this uh short training i’m going to show you how to use ftp clients like filezilla to upload files to your server it’s uh one of the best ways to upload files to your server especially if you are dealing with very

Large files it’s always advisable i always find it very easier to use file manager within my cpanel but when i’m dealing with very large files i always use filezilla so i’m going to show you how to use filezilla and that’s what we’re going to cover in this training so now let’s get started All right guys so like i said before i always use file manager when i log into my cpanel to upload files most of the time when i’m dealing with small files you know teams plugins and all that but i’m dealing with light file i always use

Filezilla so i always go to my login to your cpanel go to file manager you can always locate your domain and you can see these are some of the files that i can easily upload uh inside cpanel all you need to just up click on upload

And then locate the file on your system select the file and upload your file but like i said if you are dealing with very large file you can always use filezilla so if you google files like you can see the free open source application ftp client for uploading files and there are two

Two types we have the the filezilla client and then we have the filezilla server so the one we’re going to be using definitely is the filezilla client so do not download the filezilla server so you go for the filezilla client for windows and all you need to do is

Click to download and of course we have the three types so the free ones is okay for all that we need fs sftp you know you can no download from google drive and all that so just download and then you just install it like every other software so you click on nest

And um continue to download it next desktop icon nest nest nest and then you can decline that and if you like you can so the next thing is just finish and now it’s installed on your system and this is the interface so all you need to do is log in the same

Way you log into your cpanel with your os the username the password the parts and then you just uh log in just same way you will put with your login and if you look at the url of your cpanel that’s going to be the austin uh hostname so that’s going to be the

Url to your cpanel so i need to uh and you can click on site manager and add your site but most of the time i don’t do that so i just go straight adding my the host or the url the basic url of your cpanel then the username and

Um there are two ways to log in we have the ftp you can use the ftp protocol and then you can use the sftp protocol the ftp protocol is just like your http when you log into your website on and the port for that is 21 and then we have the sftp

Which corresponds to your https and the port for that is 21098 those are the things that you should familiar with ftp colon double slash then the url of your website then part is 21 or fftp column double slash then the port will be 21.0098 so i use i love it through

My username and password but we’re going to use ftp it doesn’t really matter so just adding ftp and then the port 21 and then you paste in url business up to dot com just url the basic url and then you go and then after you you pasted that and

Then username get your username and your password to your cpanel and click on quick connect and of course it’s going to establish that connection and connect you to your server and you can see on the left you have the files on your system everything you have on your system

Document and on the right we have the files on your hosting account cpanel so everything on the left is on your system everything on the right is your server so and just like you will open upload files here you the same way you go to filezilla your upload file same way

Except on filezilla you drag from left to right so like this network system i’m going to add some files so that’s a domain so click on let’s plot system and then you see all the same files that we have in the cpanel is the same file that

You can see in filezilla it’s basically the same thing and just like you would click on upload you will just drag files from left and then you drag to left to right and everything will be uploaded so let me try and upload these files and there are

Two ways to do that i could right click and click on upload or i could just select all and drag and drop on the right hand side is the same thing and then it will it will start connecting and everything that have dragged will be uploaded and if you confirm in cpanel reload

You will see that those files that are uploaded in c file cpanel can be seen in file manager in on that domain it’s basically as easy as that and if i’m working with any a website say let’s say i’m working on my wordpress website so let me look for

Mynetworkstraining.com and just show you something i sometimes i if i’m working with very large files if you go to networks trading wp contents which represent the wt content in your cpanel and then you can see the plugins and the theme if i click on plugins and it will show the plugins that are

Ready on that uh on netclass system so i could just find a plugin on my website or my sorry on my system right click and upload or drag and drop in that plugin folder in the plugin in the content of vp content folder for that net plus training and if i confirm

In cpanel you can see it’s been added and then all i need to do is just extract the the plugin and then start using the plugin so um it’s advisable normally you will if you even if you’re using filezilla you still have to extract in your on cpanel so just

Right click and then extract files and it should be extracted and then you can refresh and then you can see it’s been extracted you can see the ads and if you like you can just delete the main main file and that is it so large files you should upload in

Filezilla it’s a very easy way to upload and use filezilla so sometimes when i’m trying to upload very large files like teams and all that i use filezilla and then the same way you click on teams and then you can see all the teams that you have already

On that domain and you can just drag any theme from your system that you have anywhere in your system you drag it you upload it to your file manager and you have it so that’s how easy it is to use filezilla ftp clients so in the description i’m going to have the host

For both the ftp and the port for that and then the sftp and the port for that so you can use any one of the two to log in to filezilla so thank you for watching this video and please subscribe and don’t forget to turn on your notification thank you bye
