How to use FileZilla to upload files to hosting server?

Same as the previous article, this article is also not for beginner computer users. This is related to internet and webdesign.

Hope you are  ready with your website designed in your computer. Now the next step is getting a domain name and web hosting. Read the articles about getting a domain name and hosting to know how to do this. After getting the control panels, the next task is 
uploading the files to a server where you got the space. To do this, we have to use ftp (File Transfer Protocol). We can upload files to hosting server through three ways.

One is to go to the control panel of hosting server and through the file manager, upload files. The second option is using FileZilla, an ftp client which will make the task easier. The third way we already discussed. Now, we are discussing the second way. ie; using FileZilla.

Search in google about 'download filezilla' and download it. After installing it in your computer, open the application from start menu.

It will look like the below picture.

          To upload files to server using FileZilla, type in your Host name in the field marked with No.1. Don't know what a host name is? Host name is, prefixing an 'ftp' before your domain name. For example 'ftp.example.com' (without quotes) is the host name of 'www.example.com'.
 
          In the field No.2, Enter your hosting space's User Name and in No.3, enter password for the given username. The Username and password will be given by the Hosting Provider.
   
         After filling the three fields, Click on 'Quickconnect' button next to it. If the parameters entered by you is correct, In the space marked with No.7, FileZilla will display the folders in the server.
   
          Before continuing, lets discuss about fields No 4 and 5. Field no 4 is our local computer's drives and folders. From there, you can open the folder in which your website's files are saved. If you double click on a folder, the files inside it will be displayed in field No.5

         Same as in fields No. 6 and 7. The only difference is that, these are folders and files in the hosting server.

        Double click on 'public_html' in field No.7 and FileZilla will open it for you. Now we are ready to upload files to your hosting space. In the field No.5, select every files and folders you want to upload. Right click there are click 'Upload'. That's all. In the field No.8 you can view the progress of uploading and files in the queue.

       Now, you are successfully uploaded all the files to your hosting space in the server.

After uploading the files, disconnect FileZilla from server by clicking on disconnect from server button in the top of the window ( the button previous to the blue marked button).

If you want to connect again, just click on the button marked with blue color in the picture. By clicking on the button, FileZilla will connect to the last connected server.

Hope you understand the steps involved in it. Any doubts can be cleared if you ask through comments.
