Re: Managing files in FileZilla

This tutorial will teach you how to manage files using the FTP program FileZilla. You should have already configured your web site in FileZilla, if you are having problems doing this, please view the tutorial "Configuring your web site in FileZilla".

To create a File in the Remote server, Right click anywhere in the remote server window. This will open a menu. Click on Create Directory. A window with a box will then pop up, asking you to enter a name for the new folder. Enter the name where it is highlighted. Then click OK. You have now created a new folder and it can be seen in the remote server window.

To rename a folder, in the remote server window, right click on the folder name. From the drop down menu, select Rename. Enter the new name of the folder in the highlighted box. The folder has now been renamed. To delete a folder, right click on the folder name. From the drop-down menu, select Delete. The folder is now deleted.

Now we will learn how to change file permissions. Find the file you wish to change permissions for, and right click on the file name in the remote server window. From the drop-down menu, select File Attributes. This will open a window called Change the attributes. It shows all the available attributes for each level of permission. (Read, Write, and Execute in Owner Permissions, Group Permissions, and Public or World Permissions) You will change them by clicking in the box of the ones you wish to change. When you are finished, click OK. That will take you back to the main screen.

This ends the tutorial. You can now also manage files and folders in FileZilla, including creating and renaming new folders, deleting folders, and changing file permissions.
