This information is provided for the Ubuntu/Debian editions of Linux used in the CS Department (FileZilla version 3.46.3). Other Linux versions may vary.

FileZilla Client is a fast and reliable cross-platform SFTP client with lots of useful features and an intuitive graphical user interface.

• Note: Filezilla does support FTP and FTPS protocols, but as they are no longer considered secure, they are not used by the CS Department.

First connect to a server.

This is our example login data - use your own data instead if you actually want to connect to a remote computer.

Host: example.edu
Username: juser
Password: Snf9WbmV3c

Using the quickconnect bar near the top of the FileZilla window: Enter the hostname into the Host: field, the username into the Username: and the password into the Password: field. You may leave the Port: field empty unless your login information specifies a certain port to use.

Now click on the Quickconnect button.

Note: If your login information specifies a protocol like SFTP enter the hostname as follows: sftp:hostname. Most likely at NDSU, entering a protocol will not be necessary. FileZilla will now try to connect to the remote computer. If the connection is successful, you will notice that the right “column” switched from Not connected to any server to displaying a list of files and directories on the remote computer.
