Today, we will use the free FTP program on a Mac computer to demonstrate how it can help us transfer files between our Mac and FTP server.

You can also create FTP account in cPanel, setup an FTP account on VPS server or configure FTP account in other hosting control panel or servers for FTP file transfer.

There are mainly two ways to connect to FTP server using FileZilla: Quickconnect and FTP connection via Site Manager.

You will see the quick connection bar where you can enter Host, Username, Password and Port at the upper section.

This is the easiest way you can connect to a FTP server from computer.

Most other FTP programs do not provide such an easy FTP connection.

If you have multiple websites, you need to add the FTP accounts and setup the FTP connection via Site Manager which we will discuss at the lower section of this article.

Enter your domain name or server IP address in the Host box, then your FTP username and password in the Username and Password boxes separately.

You can leave the Port box empty as it will default to 21 the universal FTP port used by most web hosting services.

Finally hit the Quickconnect button to connect to your server.

Files and folders on your web server will appear in the Remote Site pane on the right.

To upload files and folders from Mac to server, open a folder on the right pane to receive the files, then right click on the file or folder from the left pane and select Upload from the context menu to upload it to the FTP server.

Choose FTP protocol, either FTP File Transfer Protocol or SFTP SSH File Transfer Protocol.

SFTP is only supported for VPS and Dedicated Server hosting packages.

You can choose Normal as the Logon Type, then type in your FTP username and its password in the User and Password boxes separately.

Or click Connect button to add the FTP server to the FTP client and connect to the server instantly.

You also have the option to protect saved passwords with a master password.

A master password will be verified each time you connect to a saved FTP server.
