I have the latest version of Filezilla for Mac and am using Mac OS 10.5.8. The problem is that the top of the Filezilla window is stuck under the Macs menu bar so I can't move the Filezilla window to a different location on my screen. I took a screenshot of it but don't see anywhere here to attach it so you can see it. Feb 19, 2008 Hello there, I want to change the directory (C: ) where FileZilla downloads the files to. Because my C: drive has not more than 1gb. I got the latest version of it. Jul 10, 2017 Ensure common FTP ports such as 21 and 22 are open for connections and that the FileZilla application “filezilla.exe” is not being blocked. Use an FTP Hostname Prefix. If you use services like SiteLock or Sucuri proxy/firewall for your site, you may need to add ftp. Before your FTP hostname in FileZilla for the connection to succeed. Locate the Flash Player install file. Unless you have specified otherwise, the file is saved in your Downloads folder. Double-click the installer file to begin the Flash Player installation. Choose Window Downloads or press Option+Command+L. Control-click the downloaded file and choose Show in Finder. If you're wondering how to use FileZilla on Mac, you should select the 'Download FileZilla Client' button on the left-hand side as well. This button works for all platforms. Don't be fooled by the 'Download FileZilla Server' button on the right, this will download a server that provides other people access to your files.
FileZilla is an open source cross platform FTP client for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. It is very user-friendly and easy to use. You can use it to connect to your web server from your computer to upload or download files. In an earlier guide, we discussed how you can connect to server using FileZilla from a Windows PC. Today, we will use the free FTP program on a Mac computer to demonstrate how it can help us transfer files between our Mac and FTP server.
How to connect to FTP server using FileZilla on Mac?
Here are the steps to connect to server using this FTP client:
Do a search for ‘filezilla’ on Bing or Google to find this FTP client and download it on to your Mac. Install the FTP program on your Mac.
Generally speaking your main hosting control panel username and its password is the main FTP account. You can also create FTP account in cPanel, setup an FTP account on VPS server or configure FTP account in other hosting control panel or servers for FTP file transfer.
Connecting web server using FTP client is easy. There are mainly two ways to connect to FTP server using FileZilla: Quickconnect and FTP connection via Site Manager.
Easiest way to connect to FTP server via FileZilla Quickconnect
Run FileZilla on Mac. You will see the quick connection bar where you can enter Host, Username, Password and Port at the upper section. This is the easiest way you can connect to a FTP server from computer. Most other FTP programs do not provide such an easy FTP connection. It is the best choice when you want to connect to server quickly, when you need to connect to single FTP server with the same FTP account. If you have multiple websites, you need to add the FTP accounts and setup the FTP connection via Site Manager which we will discuss at the lower section of this article.
Connecting to the FTP server via the Quickconnect option is easy. Enter your domain name or server IP address in the Host box, then your FTP username and password in the Username and Password boxes separately. You can leave the Port box empty as it will default to 21 the universal FTP port used by most web hosting services. Finally hit the Quickconnect button to connect to your server.
When you connected to the FTP server in FileZilla, you’ll see a note in the status area below the Quickconnect bar at the upper section of this FTP program. The files and folders on your own Mac computer will appear under the “Local Site” pane on the left side. Files and folders on your web server will appear in the “Remote Site” pane on the right.
You can now transfer files and folders between your Mac and your hosting account. To upload files and folders from Mac to server, open a folder on the right pane to receive the files, then right click on the file or folder from the left pane and select Upload from the context menu to upload it to the FTP server.
To download files from server to Mac computer, open a folder on the left pane to receive the files, then right click on the file or folder from the right pane and select Download from the context menu to download it from server to Mac.
Connect to the last used FTP server quickly
If you have disconnected the FTP server and want to connect it again, you can click the ‘Reconnects to the last used server‘ button at the top toolbar to quickly connect to the last used FTP server quickly without the need to type your FTP server details manually.
Connect to FTP server via FileZilla Site Manager
Run FileZilla on your Mac. Click on the Site Manager icon at the top left. Click New Site, enter a name for the new site. Enter your domain name or server IP address in the Host box. Choose FTP protocol, either FTP – File Transfer Protocol or SFTP – SSH File Transfer Protocol. FTP is supported by various hosting servers. SFTP is only supported for VPS and Dedicated Server hosting packages. You can choose Normal as the Logon Type, then type in your FTP username and its password in the User and Password boxes separately. Finally click OK to add the FTP server to your FTP client. Or click Connect button to add the FTP server to the FTP client and connect to the server instantly.
You can allow FileZilla to remember the passwords for you so you can reconnect without having to re-enter a password after restarting FileZilla. You also have the option to protect saved passwords with a master password. A master password will be verified each time you connect to a saved FTP server. Note that a lost master password cannot be recovered. So please thoroughly memorize your master password.
