How to Install FileZilla FTP Client
FileZilla is an open-source, free FTP solution. I will try to list the installation steps detailly just in case you might have a problem in installing.
Downloading FileZilla FTP Client
I strongly suggest that you better download the installation file directly from the original website of FileZilla. In the main page; just click on the “Download FileZilla Client” and next choose your operating system platform.
Installing FileZilla FTP Client
After you download the file, just run it by double clicking on it (or the way your OS set up). Next;
The first step will be licence agreement window above. If you are OK with it, click “I Agree” button to proceed.
Second step will be an installation option window above which asks you who the application program be installed for. You can either select “Anyone who uses this computer” or “Only me”. This is actually a personal choice.
Third step will be the component chosing window above. You can select the required components for your needs at this step. The “FileZilla Client” is not deselectable as it includes the core files to run the application but the other listed ones depend on your needs. “Icon Sets” are the additional icon sets for theming the application. “Language Files” are for additional language support. You may deselect the language files if you are not interested in multi-language support and just fine with the English. “Shell Extension” option allows you to use the drag and drop option in the program. “Desktop Icon” component simply adds a desktop short cut icon on your desktop to run the program.
Fourth step is the installation location window above. You simply choose a path for your installation. If you want a different path other then the default path written, just click on “Browse” and choose an already created path in your hard disk.
Fifth step is the start menu folder window above. You will choose the menu folder where the application’s shortcuts are going to be located. If you want a folder other than the default folder given, simply write the folder name in the box. If you do not want any shortcuts placed in stat menu folder; just select the box “Do not create shortcuts”.
Now, If you are done with your choices, you can click on the “Install” button that appears in this last step. It will start the installation process.
After the application is installed, the window above will appear and you can start the program by simply clicking on “Finish” button while the “Start FileZilla Now” box is selected.
That’s it. If you have any problems during the installation, share them by leaving a comment and I ‘ll do my best to assist if I can.
Thanks for the guide, I installed the new version but the thing is it didn’t automatically imported my old version website login informations? Do I have to manually add them ?
Hey Bradies,
No you don’t have to add your website informations from your older version, manually. To import them just click on the “File” on the application toolbar, and choose “Import”. Then browse to your older version of the installation folder and you will find a file named “FileZilla.xml” . Pick it and it will ask you to import the informations stored in the older version of the FileZilla. Confirm and all the login details you stored earlier should then be listed in the new version. Let know if that solves it.
Cheers
Thanks!
Should of thought it but didn’t guess that kind of an option is located under file menu. uh
