These instructions are based on FileZilla 2.2.10, although other versions are similar.
Enter your domain name in the box at the top of this page for detailed instructions.
Start the FileZilla program from your Start menu, and you'll see spaces at the top of the screen asking for the server "Address", "User" and "Password".
The window should look like this:
Then click Quickconnect. This will open a connection to your root html folder and the Remote Site section in FileZilla should update to show your Web site files. Although the exact files and folders will be different it should look like the following:
You can upload files to the server by dragging them from the left hand file browser called Local Site to the right hand file browser called Remote Site.
If you encounter problems, it's possible that a firewall on your computer or network is interfering with the connection. To solve this problem, see the topic explaining how to turn on "passive mode" in FileZilla.
The next time you use the FileZilla program, the "Address", "User" and "Password" boxes will be empty again. However, FileZilla has remembered them: just click the arrow next to Quickconnect.
The drop down list will then display your recent connections. Choose the one with the ftp.tigertech.net ending.
