Uploading and downloading files with FTP
Connect to FTP
To connect to the server, enter the IP address (FTP server), the username and the password. This data can be viewed under FTP Browser. The port is always 21, but this is usually entered automatically.
Connect via FileZilla

You need the "FileZilla Client" version, not the FileZilla Server version
Stop your server before editing or uploading files via FTP.
After stopping the server update your FTP rights here.
When the server is started, you may get "Permission denied" errors.

FileZilla Overview
Once the connection is established, you can view and edit all data. In the upper right corner you have the directories. There you can quickly switch between the folders. At the bottom right are the data, which you can download, view and edit with a right click:
It is important that the server must be offline when you edit the data, otherwise it will not be taken over or the server will crash.
Upload files
Files can be dragged and dropped from the left side (the computer) to the right side (the server) using "Drag and Drop".
If you have more than one server, you have to find out the ID of the server first, so that you can move the data into the correct folder.
"Transfer connection interrupted" Error Message
If the error message "Transfer connection interrupted: ECCONABORTED - Connection aborted" appears during the connection or transfer, the transfer mode can be changed from "Passive" to "Active". The following steps show how this can be changed in the Filezilla settings.
Press "Edit" in your Filezilla client, then open the "Settings..." directly:
After that the "Settings" window opens. There you can click on "FTP" to see the settings for the FTP connection. At "FTP" the default transfer mode will be set to "Passive", there you can select the radio button "Active" and confirm the change with "OK".
As soon as this is done, the FTP connection can be tested again.
