FileZilla provides an easy-to-use software interface that makes file transfers between your computer and servers as simple as performing a drag-and-drop. FileZilla is available as a free file transfer protocol (FTP) between client and server from the FileZilla Project website. Download the client to transfer files between your computer and servers to which you have access.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Establish a connection between your computer and a server in FileZilla. Enter the web location of the server in the "Host" text box. Include the "http://" at the beginning of the address if the server is a web server rather than a FTP server. Provide your log-in information if required and press the "Quickconnect" button.

  2. Step 2

    Navigate to the location of the files to be transferred on your computer using the "Local Site" pane. Click on the folder name to display its contents in the file listing directly under the "Local Site" pane.

  3. Step 3

    Select multiple files at once by holding down the "Ctrl" key as you click on the file names. Select all the files to transfer by clicking the file at the top of the list, holding down the "Shift" key and clicking on the file at the bottom of the list.

  4. Step 4

    Copy the files over to the server. Click on one of the selected files and drag the group to the "Remote Site" file listing at right. Release the mouse button to drop the files and start the transfer.

  5. Step 5

    Keep an eye on the progress log in the bottom pane in FileZilla. Transfer percentages, completions and failures are logged here.
