Create subfolders for the files and then transfer them. If you are transferring a lot of files (for example, more than 2,000), you may get the 226 error. This is one work-around.
Utilize STFP, instead of FTP, to transfer your files. SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) does not truncate your number of files per folder, as is the case with FTP.
Post your situation to an online forum. There is a virtually unlimited amount of help out there in the form of fellow computer users who may know how to deal more directly with your specific issue. See an example of one online forum in Resources.

'Disconnected From Server' in FileZillaIn Feburary 2016 26,
In Feburary 2016 26,
FileZilla can implement most of the variations of FTP, which is one of the oldest applications on the Internet. FTP's original version had few security features. To compensate for this, FTP over SSL/TLS, called FTPS and SSH FTP, called SFTP were developed. SSL is the Secure Socket Layer, which was later replaced by Transport Layer Security. These are the security features behind the HTTP Secure protocol, used by eCommerce websites to enable shoppers to enter their credit card details securely. The same security system was added to FTP to create FTP Secure. SSH is the Secure Shell that is a secure terminal emulator. SSH has its own file transfer protocol, known as Secure FTP. FileZilla is also able to transfer files according to these protocols.
Error Characteristics
The error occurs when uploading files from a PC to a server. The application completes 85 to 90 percent of the file delivery, then displays the message: “Error: Disconnected from server: ECONNABORTED - Connection aborted.” Afterward the transfer resumes, starting at 40 percent. It may again abort at the 85 to 90 percent mark and slip back to 40 percent transferred, or may complete the second time. On other occasions, the disconnected message appears in the log file, even though the file transfer continues and completes.
Cause
FTP uses two connections, one to send commands back and forth and the other for the transfer of data. FileZilla also maintains a separate connection to display the remote file directory in its own browser window. When a file is being transferred, the user often stops using the browser connection and it times out. The reported disconnect is for the browser connection, but the file transfer connections stay open because regular “keep alive” messages pass back and forth, preventing the server from closing them. The recurring transfer break at 85 percent is caused by an intermediate firewall or router dropping the control connection, which FileZilla then re-establishes.
Solution
FileZilla reports disconnection in its log file, but does not identify which connection was dropped or why. If the transfer proceeds and completes, there is little to worry about; this is a misreported or imprecise warning. Genuine dropped connections are usually caused by firewalls. You should specify FileZilla as an exception to force your firewall to accept the application's traffic. Where errors are caused by intermediate routers, there is little you can do to avoid the problem, because the router is not within your control. FileZilla, however, does work with proxy servers, so you can channel connections through a proxy to help the network server avoid a consistently troublesome router.

How to Upload Website TemplatesIn Feburary 2016 20,
In Feburary 2016 20,
Download the website template. Double click on the files to extract them if they are in a compressed file such as a ZIP or DMG.
Open a file transfer protocol (FTP) program. Enter your FTP log-in information if this is your first time using the software. You will be asked for the name of the FTP host, your username and password. If you don't have this information, contact your host and ask them for it.
Visit the directory into which you plan on uploading the template. If you want this in your website's root directory, this is often under the 'WWW' folder in the website directory.
Drag the template files from your computer to the directory displayed in the FTP window. Depending on the number of files in each template, the transfer may take a while. Let the transfer finish before closing the window.

The Difference Between a File Server an FTP ServerIn Feburary 2016 12,
In Feburary 2016 12,
File servers store data for an entire network, just as an individual computer's hard drive stores data for that individual computer. File Transfer Protocol (FTP) servers run an FTP application to exchange files over the Internet, which is the world's largest network.
Similarities
File serving and FTP serving are both networking methods that involve file transfer between computers. FTP servers need to work together with file servers in order to function. In a network using FTP, file servers store data while FTP servers transmit that data over the Internet, with both being necessary for file transfer to occur.
Differences
FTP servers download files from or upload files to file servers. FTP servers move files to and from file server locations. FTP servers require file servers, but file servers do not require FTP servers, since file servers also serve various intranet networks not connected to the Internet.

HTTP Vs. FTP File TransferIn Feburary 2016 10,
In Feburary 2016 10,
In order to update a file to a website, all the user needs is a modern internet browser. However, on the server side of the website, a site programmer has to implement a system that can handle a file upload. The programmer has several options to perform this, from a simple HTML upload to more advanced forms with languages such as PHP and ASP, for use in a forum or a blog. With downloading, all a user has to do is click on a link.
Uploading via FTP
FTP, or File Transfer Protocol, predates HTTP by quite some time. However, FTP is used primarily by webmasters and web developers who need to upload files directly to their servers. In order to use an FTP server, you will need an FTP client to connect to it. Free FTP programs include FileZilla and CoreFTP, and can be found in the resources section below.
Advantages and Disadvantages of HTTP
HTTP uploads provide an incredibly simple method of uploading files to a server, with minimal knowledge about file transfers. Downloading a file is also incredibly easy too. However, the disadvantages lie in HTTP's lack of power when it comes to file uploading. Also, a programmer needs to have the knowledge required to create the form in HTML, in order to upload the file in question. This especially is true if the file is for a social network similar to Myspace or Facebook that they're creating.
Advantages and Disadvantages of FTP
Using a FTP server offers advantages of its own. For one, a user can use a program to perform a mass upload to a server, not having to worry about repeatedly having to rebrowse for files and re-upload them using one form. Downloads can also be done en masse as well. Unfortunately, an FTP server still requires an FTP client to use, and the use of one would be particularly cumbersome to those who just wanted to upload a picture or two.
Differences
Ultimately, FTP and HTTP file transfers have completely different purposes. FTP's file transfer purpose is more or less for website maintenance and batch uploads, while HTTP is for client-end work and for end users to upload things such as movies, pictures and other files to the server. Often times, a programmer will use FTP to upload the files that allow an end-user to upload files via HTML/HTTP as well.

How to Transfer Domain Names to Another Hosting CompanyIn Feburary 2016 06,
In Feburary 2016 06,
Create an account with the registrar where you intend to transfer the domain name. Login to the account and under the ''Administrative Settings' you will find a link that says 'Transfer Domain.' Click on that then enter the domain name and click 'Ok.'
Login to the account where the domain name is currently hosted and double check to see that the administrative contact email is correct. Go to the administration section and check that the domain you wish to transfer is 'Unlocked' and 'Active.' It will also need to be more than 60 days old. The new registrar will send an email requesting that the domain be transferred along with a link to verify and approve the transfer.
Open up the email and click on the link in order to approve the transfer. The new registrar will notify the ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) and the domain will be transferred to the new registrar in five to seven days.

How to Upload Files in Binary ModeIn Feburary 2016 01,
In Feburary 2016 01,
Open your FTP program. If you are using a desktop-based FTP program, find it on your computer and open it. If you are using Web-based software, go to your website's control panel and log in to the FTP section.
Find the FTP settings and change the transfer mode. To ensure you are uploading in binary mode, you have to change the settings in your FTP client to 'binary.' The way to do this depends on the FTP program you are using. Search for the 'Options' or 'Preferences' menu and then 'Transfer mode.' Once you find this, select 'binary.' In some FTP clients, you can select 'binary' at the bottom of the screen without needing to open any additional menus.
Transfer your files. Once the setting is saved, you can use the FTP client to transfer your files. On one side of the screen you will see the files that are saved on your computer. The other side will represent the Web space that you are uploading to. Select the files you want to upload, and click the arrow or 'transfer' button. You will know your upload has been successful when you see the files on the side of the screen that represents your Web space.
