You will need to know which server hosts your domain. For this example, we are using the server redwood.greenhostit.com
Enter the following settings:
===========================================
Host: redwood.greenhostit.com
Port: (leave blank)
Protocol: FTP - File Transfer Protocol
Encryption: Require explicit FTP over TLS
Logon Type: Normal
User: *your username*
Password: *your password*
===========================================
- Click Connect
- Once you hit Connect for the first time the message will appear asking you to accept the server's security
certificate for redwood.greenhostit.com. Click OK.
Troubleshooting Tip #1: - If you are behind a firewall and/or a router you will need to use a Passive mode for FTP to get a stable connection. You can configure this setting as shown bellow: 1. Open FileZilla and go to Edit -> Settings. 2. In the Connections section, click FTP and set the Passive mode option.
Troubleshooting Tip #2: -
Under the Filezilla
"Advanced Tab", check to see if you have "Server Type" stated as "DOS".
If so, change to Default (Autodetect).
