How can I setup the FTP like in the video?

Hi,

How can I setup the FTP like in the video to transfer my local to a live site? FileZilla doesn't look like this when I just install it...

Hey Nicholas,

You'll need to connect to your server in order to see the remote files as well as the local files as shown in the video.

Here's a tutorial on how to use FileZilla: https://www.siteground.com/tutorials/ftp/filezilla.htm

You'll need to have the appropriate IP address or DNS address for your remote site's FTP with appropriate login and password. These can be generated under the FTP User area in your CPanel.

Let me know if you have any more questions or need further clarification and I'll try to help you out. :)

Good Luck!
