This guide gives you a short overview on how to use FileZilla. By default you don't have to configure FileZilla, so you can start directly working with the program.
1. Connecting to an FTP server
3pod
To connect to an FTP server, enter the address
of the server into the host field of the Quickconnect bar. If it is a
special server type like an SFTP server, add the protocol in front of the
address. In case of an SFTP server, start the address with 'sftp://'. Enter the port
of the server into the port field if it is not the default port (21 for FTP, 22
for SFTP). If a username /
password is required, enter it in the corresponding fields. Click on
Quickconnect or press Enter to connect to the server.
2. Navigating on the server
3pod
After a successful connection attempt, a list
of files and folders appears on the right side of the main window. The current
folder is listed in the edit field on the top. You can change the current folder
by double-clicking a folder or by entering the folder name (exp 3pod.com) into the edit field
and pressing enter. You may also right-click the file and folder list and select
Open from the context menu to change the current folder. You will notice
a folder called ".." displayed in all directories. This folder allows
you to go up to the parent directory of the current folder.
3. Navigating on your machine
3pod
Navigating on your machine works almost like
navigating on the server. There's only one addition: The folders on your machine
are arranged in a tree for faster navigation. A tree is also availabe for the
remote side, but it is hidden by default. The remote tree can be shown anytime
by clicking on the remote tree icon in the toolbar.
To change the current folder either on your machine or on the server, just
select a tree item in the appropriate tree.
4. Transferring files
3pod
You can upload or download a file by
double-clicking on it. It will be added to the transfer queue and the transfer
starts automatically. To transfer folders and/or multiple files, select them and
right-click the selection. Then you can click on Upload/Download in the popup menu.
You can also drag the files from one side and
drop them on the other side. To add files to the queue so that they will be
transferred later, select them and click Add to Queue from the popup
menu. You may also drag the files directly into the queue. Click on the 
button on the toolbar to start the transfer.
