How to upload my contents or download them now?

You can do this by simply following these steps:

  • This is the panel you'll see once you're connected:

    FileZilla dashboard for file transfers

    The options on the left-hand side are from your local drive and the one in the other side is for the web server. 

  • To upload contents in the web server, simply select the files that you want to be uploaded and drop them in the folder you want them to be added in the right-hand side panel (server)


  • To download them, select the files that you want to download, drag and drop them to the local drive.
