Password security
Attention:
FileZilla is saving your password in PLAINTEXT should you choose to save the connection including the password in the Servermanager. We strongly advice you to NOT use this function!
Alternatives:
- Use a ftp client that uses password encryption (WinSCP for Windows for example)
- In FileZilla use the option „Ask for password“ in the connection settings
Establishing a connection
One time use
One time use

Using Site Manager
Using Site Manager
The Site Manager enables you to save the connection data for later use:

| Protocol: | FTP - File Transfer Protocol |
| Encryption: | Require explicit FTP over TLS or Use explicit FTP over TLS if available |
| Logon Type: | Ask for password |

| Transfer mode: | Default or Passive |
Verifying the certificate
Verifying the certificate
During the first connection you will be confronted with a message »The server's certificate is unknown«.
Why? FileZilla can't identify the Root Certificate.
You can check if the certificate is valid using the fingerprints seen on the picture.

After the connection is established filezilla will display the data of your local machine on the left and the data on the server on the right.
Change to the directory public_html. Now you can work with your data ( create, edit, rename, delete ). When you are ready, just drag and drop your data to the desired destination
If you receive an error message »Directory content could not be received«, please switch to the settings. Under Connection › FTP › Active Mode, please restrict Local Ports to the range from 13000 to 13200.
