Transferring a File
The FileZilla screen looks similar to the Windows File Explorer screen and operates in much the same way.
In the left-hand pane, navigate to the folder containing the file(s) you wish to transfer and in the right-hand pane, navigate to the folder on your website that you wish to transfer the file(s) to. Remember that the folder public_html is your website's root directory. Everything else is a sub-directory off it.
To transfer a file from your local hard disk, you can click and drag it or you can simply double-click it.
You don't have to wait until a file has finished transferring to start another. They will queue.
FileZilla will show you the process of the transfer and tell you when all have completed.

Phil I can't connect either. I've set the FTP to passive and tried to connect many times. Error:Status: Connecting to ftp_YFSgFtn0...
Response: fzSftp started, protocol_version=11
Command: open "clthorp59@outlook.com@ftp_YFSgFtn0" 22
Error: ssh_init: nodename nor servname provided, or not known
Error: Could not connect to server
Which is the best port to use–21 or 22?

ideally you shouldn't give others access to your ftp password and username....
i managed to login with these details....
so hostname - website url
username ftp_......
password ftp password
port 21
quick connect
there will be another screen saying about unsecure content - just accept that one...
and you should get what i did in the image
ps - ask support to change the ftp password after you get in and do what you need to ....will make it secure again

You shouldn't need to specify port at all.
Just enter your domain name, FTP user name and password from the WA site details. See attached example.

Check out my latest reply. Sorry about the delay, was flying home yesterday evening. Delayed 2 and a half hours because of bad weather.
It's your FTP username and password.

Although I'm familiar with using Filezilla, the first of the two scenarios you mentioned is something I had not considered.
I have dropped the GCS verification code into the theme editor folder. I had no idea I could add it to my public_html folder.
The second one I have used to upload my PDF giveaways!
hanks for providing this training, Phil!
