How to Connect to Your Server Using FileZilla



FileZilla is a free FTP software program. This amazing software allows you to transfer files from your local computer to your server. It’s simple and fast.

There are currently two FileZilla versions available to download:

* FileZilla Server
* [FileZilla Client](https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=client).

—

[FileZilla Client](https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=client) is the correct software program that you have to download and install to access your server files properly.

||| Please don’t download and install Filezilla Server, this is the wrong version and won’t work for your needs.

# ⚠ Important Notes ⚠

||| Please note that if you have any issues using FileZilla you can try WinSCP or Cyberduck as an alternative. [Here](https://help.ggservers.com/en-us/article/how-to-connect-with-winscp-rfcman/) is our guide for using WinSCP and [here](https://help.ggservers.com/en-us/article/how-to-connect-with-cyberduck-c43bmi/) is our guide for using Cyberduck.

* Both FileZilla and Cyberduck have versions for Windows and MAC.
* Be sure to download and install in your PC FileZilla **Client**, not the server version.

||| Also, you need to use Filezilla for uploading and downloading files as the Multicraft FTP has limitations on download/upload of files.
