- | < | + | ===== Filezilla Tutorial ===== |
+ | FTP stands for File Transmission Protocol. Therefore it is not a specific program, but a specification of a specific way to transfer files. | ||
+ | The programs used to transferfiles using FTP are called 'FTP clients' | ||
- | < | + | We are going to use the well known FTP client [[http://filezilla-project.org/download.php? |
- | < | + | |
- | FTP is most beneficial with large numbers of files or folders, but you'll soon want to use it every chance you get.< | + | |
- | It's simple and quick, | + | |
- | < | + | |
- | The ease of use, speed, and professional yet intuitive interface make CuteFTP one of the very best FTP solutions.< | + | |
- | </ | + | |
- | < | + | |
- | Don't let the name fool you, it's got quite an arsenal of advanced features including several types of encryption, queue saving, scheduled transfers, and much more.</ | + | |
- | <p>We will cover the basics of getting connected to your Xirvik seedbox, and a bit extra to get you off to a good start.</ | + | |
- | < | + | |
- | Support the developers and buy it from <a href="http://www.cuteftp.com/ | + | |
- | When you first open up CuteFTP, you'll see this dialog box. | + | |
- | < | + | |
- | < | + | |
- | Go ahead and fill < | + | |
- | < | + | |
- | < | + | In all cases you will have to install |
- | Enter in your usual seedbox Username and Password into the corresponding fields.</ | + | |
- | < | + | |
- | < | + | |
- | < | + | |
- | All this means is that when you connect to the server CuteFTP | + | |
- | If unsure, choose C:\. | + | |
- | </ | + | |
- | < | + | |
- | < | + | |
- | < | + | |
- | Let's go ahead and right click on it and navigate to < | + | |
- | < | + | |
- | < | + | |
- | All we need to do now is switch to < | + | |
- | < | + | |
- | Now hit < | + | |
- | <p>So now that you are connected, here's an overview of the main CuteFTP window.</ | + | |
- | < | + | |
- | < | + | |
- | You can drag from the left panel (Local Folders) to the right panel (Remote Folders) to upload files and folders.< | + | |
- | Dragging from the Remote folders to the Local folders will download the files and folders.< | + | |
- | Alternately | + | |
- | < | + | |
- | Here you can stop, start, and delete the transfer by right clicking on it.< | + | |
- | Below is an example of what you will see if you right click a queued transfer.</ | + | |
- | < | + | |
- | Everything is basic here.< | + | |
- | You can also load/save your queues, and change the order in which something will download here. < | + | |
- | Also you can remove queues that are either finished or still going from this context menu. | + | |
- | </ | + | |
- | < | + | |
- | They will continue downloading in the Transfer Engine. You can see it in the bottom right of your screen next to your clock.< | + | |

+ | ==== Filezilla installation ==== | ||
+ | Start by downloading and executing the setup file from the link above. | ||
- | </html> | + | All default setup options are fine, so nothing to explain there. Accept the license (it's GPL, to sum it up as an user you can do anything you want), choose whether you want to install Filezilla for only you or all the users in the PC, change installation path if you don't like the default one, and that's pretty much it. |
+ | |||
+ | The first time you run FileZilla it looks like this: | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{:: | ||
+ | |||
+ | On the left there is your computer, and on the right there is nothing yet. Press the highlighted button (site manager) so we can tell Filezilla about the Xirvik seeedbox. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{:: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Now click on new site, to add the seedbox to Filezilla' | ||
+ | |||
+ | The site configuration screen looks like this: | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{:: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Note that we called the service (on the left) " | ||
+ | |||
+ | Leave the port empty, as we use the standard FTP port (which is 21). | ||
+ | |||
+ | For server type, use FTPES, or if you are using a different FTP client, whatever option is needed to enable TLS/SSL - this is for encryption. You can connect without encryption, but we strongly recommend that you use it if it's available. All the options in the other tabs (Advanced, Transfer settings and Charset) are OK with their default values. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Click Connect are you will finally see your server in the file window. Remember, the left part of the screen shows your computer and the right part shows the contents of your seedbox account: | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{:: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Note that we created a folder called SeedboxDownloads, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Finally, to transfer the files we just drag and drog the folder in the server to the folder in the PC. The transfer starts inmediately, | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | {{:: | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can see the speed and remaining time. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This is all there is to it. Remember that the server setup part you did before was a one time thing. The next time you start Filezilla, your Xirvik seedbox is listed in the dropdown list by the server manager button: | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{:: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Xirvik |
