What is an FTP server?
• An FTP server’s principal function is to enable users to upload and

download files. A file transfer protocol (FTP) server is a computer with
an FTP address that is only dedicated to receiving FTP connections. FTP
is a file transfer protocol that allows a server (sender) and a client to
exchange files over the internet (receiver), via an FTP protocol.
• FTP servers make it easier to transmit files over the internet. They serve
as a conduit between the sender and the recipient of a file. You may be
required to enter a username and password, depending on the type of
FTP server you use and the level of protection required. Some FTP
servers allow you to connect anonymously, which means you don’t have
to enter a username or password to gain access.
Advantages of Using FileZilla FTP Server
• Supports FTP, FTP over SSL/TLS (FTPS), and SSH File Transfer Protocol
(SFTP), allowing for the secure transfer of sensitive data.
• AS of 2021, FileZilla now runs on Windows, Linux, *BSD, Mac OS X, and more.
This makes transferring files between different Operating Systems much easier.
• IPv6 support.
• FileZilla is available in many languages allowing for a much user-friendly
experience.
• Drag and drop to download and upload, and downloads for larger files can be
paused and resumed instantly.
• A tabbed administrator, allowing for synchronized directory browsing and makes
it easier to search files remotely on a server.
Installing and connecting to FileZilla Server for Windows Server
Windows's built-in FTP does not support secure FTP, making FileZilla Server an
option to support secure FTP. It also offers a simpler user management that is
presented upfront on the server application's interface. While it is not a better
solution to the IIS FTP role, it is a quick solution if you do not use IIS and use a
Windows-based control panel that doesn't offer FTP.
Installing FileZilla Server
Step One. Download FileZilla Server installer from the
FileZilla site.
Step Two. Run the installer to bring up the License Agreement part of
the installation.
Step Three. Then, select the checkboxes you wish to include in the
installation. Standard is a good default, however, if you wish to include
the source code, you can click the checkbox, and it will add it to the
installation.
Step Four. Next, please select the file path you wish to install it to and
click next.
Step Five. Next, it will ask how Filezilla Server should be started. It is
recommended to go with the default if you plan to use FTP frequently. It
will also ask for the port you wish to set. Input the port you wish to use
and click Next.
Step Six. Next, it will ask if you wish to start it if the user logs on and
apply to all users. Select the desired result and click Install
Step Seven. Last, it would run through the installation process. Once it
is completed, it will allow you to click close.
Now, you should have Filezilla Server installed on the Server. Next, you
would need to connect to the server.
Connecting to Filezilla Server on Windows
1. Start FileZilla Server.
2. Next, enter the server information. Typically, if this is installed on a single VPS, localhost and the port
you configured earlier in this article would be the information you would input and the password you have
set. Then click Connect.
The following steps will not be needed if you already have a user-configured into the FileZilla Server
application. If you have not created a user and/or a group, please follow the next 4 steps.
3. Once the client has loaded, click the User icon on the top bar.
4. Next, click add on the general tab that loads first
5. Then, you enter the desired username for the FTP account you wish
to connect with. This can be any username you see fit to use. Then click
OK
6. Next, you would click the checkbox to enable a password
requirement and enter the password.
This is optional. However, it is strongly recommended that you set a password to secure user
access.
7. Then, you would add the directory you would like to grant the
username access to. This can be any directory. However, if this is for a
developer, pick only the directory they would need access to.
8. Once the directory is selected and confirmed by clicking OK on the
directory selection window. It should have a bold H next to it. This
indicates the Home Directory. Next to this area, the permissions are
indicated by reading, Write, Delete, and Append. You would select as
needed. However, it is not recommended to enable deletion permissions
unless you trust the person you may be allowing access to those files
with.
9. Next, click OK, and the settings will be applied.
10. On the desktop client, you would then enter in the hostname or IP, the username you set up, the password,
and the port you set on the FileZilla server application on the server and click connect.
Thank You
