How to Connect to WordPress Using Filezilla

1. Open FileZilla on your computer.
2. Type your Web host's hostname in the 'Host' box. This often resembles your actual Web address. For example, if your blog is at myblog.com, your FTP host may be 'myblog.com' or 'ftp.myblog.com.'

3. Type your Web hosting username and password in their respective boxes. Usually, but not always, these credentials are the same ones you use to log into a Web-based control panel for your website. Once you connect, the files on your Web server appear to the right.
4. Navigate to your home folder, which may be called 'www,' 'home' or 'public_html.'
5. Navigate to the folder called 'wp-content' inside the directory where you installed WordPress.
6. Navigate to the folder called 'plugins' to upload a new plugin. Navigate to the 'uploads' folder and, if relevant, the correct year and month to upload content such as images or PDF files.
7. Click and drag any file you want to upload from the left side of the screen, where it is on your computer, into the appropriate folder on the right side of the screen, which is your Web server. The files will copy to your WordPress installation, but the originals remain on your computer's hard drive.
