Filezilla is free, open-source FTP application, it is handy if you’re looking for a firm tool to handle FTP transfers for file uploading and downloading to and from your FTP site, server, or host. Just before you start with collect some of the information from your web hosting providers like;

# Name of your host server or ip of the server
# Your login username/password for your FTP account.
#The directory where you need to place your files like for
example the files in a subdirectory called “www” or “public_html”
or even the default directory that you see when you log
into your FTP site.

Start up FileZilla.
* Click the “File” menu followed by the “Site Manager” item on that
menu. A dialog box will appear.
* Click the “New Site” button on that dialog box. This creates a new
item under “My FTP Sites” called “New FTP site”. Rename “New FTP
site” to the name of your site if you wish.By default, the keyboard
cursor would have been placed in the name portion of “New FTP
site” allowing you to change the name immediately.
* In the section entitled “Site details”, enter the name of your server
name in the “Host” input box.For example,if your web host told you
that your hostname is “server.example.com”,enter “server.example.com”
into the space provided.You can also put the server ip therein.
* Leave the “Port” and the “Servertype” entry boxes alone.Use your
mouse and click on the “Normal” radio button in the “Logontype” section.
This will enable the “User” and “Password” boxes for the next step.
(If incase you need to enter the port number,you can put in as “21?).
* Enter your user id or your login name (or whatever your web host
calls it) into the “User” input box. Likewise, enter your password into
the “Password” input box.
* Click the “Connect” button. FileZilla will take you to log into your
server. If it is successful, you will see a directory listing of your website’s
account in the right window pane. The left window pane is the directory
listing of your own computer.
* Next, locate the file that you wish to upload in the left window pane
(the “Local Site” pane). Both window panes behave like a Windows
Explorer windows, so navigating them should not be unduly hard. Once
you have located the file you wish to upload, say “test.php”,doubleclick
it to upload it to your website. Also you can drag that file from
the left window pane to the right window pane. The file will be uploaded
to the folder that is currently open on the right window pane, so make
sure you have changed to the directory you want before dragging the
file there.
* As FileZilla keep on uploading your file to your site, you should be
able to see the upload progress in the bottommost window pane.
Once the upload is finished, you can simply disconnect it from
your website.
