>> It can be used in two ways: Either with temporary Lo-gin for once or just save permanently the Lo-gin details and use them every time you need. How? – just follow
Using Filezilla with one time lo-gin – 1st method:

2. No need to fill up the port (optional) and just press Quick-connect button to access server files.
3. Its Done. left side shows your System’s Folders & Files and right side shows server Directories & files.
Using FileZilla with saved FTP Account(s) to Lo-gin – 2nd method:

2. Click on the New Site option provided below left side as shown in the image. which will give you the new site option shown above left side.
3. Rename new site tab with the Site Name (just to remember). this name can be anything (manual entry).
4. Enter your Shared or Dedicated IP Address in the Host option (eg. 123.123.123.123). use the IP Provided to you. (can be found easily in your Control Panel read more >>)
5. Change Logon Type to Normal if you do not want to Enter Password all the time. or else use option Ask Password.

7. Enter the Password you kept for this particular FTP Account for the site.
8. Finally, leave comment (optional) to remember, else click OK option (must to save settings made)
Note: as soon as you click OK button the option box hides, so, open again by pressing CTRL + S, choose site / FTP Account to be used and click Connect to use whenever the stored account is required to be used.
Benefits of Using FTP Tool / Filezilla for Online Services and Solutions
- First thing is that it Manages All Together.
- Faster in Working as we don’t need to turn pages as already been doing via Control Panel which takes complete time of page load(s), even if we are just to upload an Image or Html file just like copying.
- HTML sites are easy to be updated using FTP Tool instead of finding and going on directory to directory using Control Panel.
- No Browser usage so no password recall (in case of one time connectivity)
- No Browser usage also let’s No Browser Cache
- for Multiple Sites we need to open Multiple Control panel, but FTP Tool Manages all together at one place with one click in multiple tabs
- if using with your Personal Computer (Secured), just create FTP Accounts, no need to Re-Enter or Re-call passwords username and Host IP’s
