How to Use FileZillaIn Feburary 2016 29,
In Feburary 2016 29,
When you first open Filezilla, a large window opens with several windows within in the main window. The top window is where Filezilla will show its commands as it works. Below that on the left is the local computer, your computer. On the right is where you will see files from the remote computer. Each computer is broken down into two windows each, the upper window for directories, and the lower pane for directory contents. At the bottom in where progress of each uploading file is displayed.
Check with your webhost for your FTP host name, your username and password, which may be given by the host, or you have chosen. Click on the File drop down menu and chose Site Manager. A new window will open.
In Site Manager chose New Site. In the Select Entry pane, a new icon appears. Type in the name of your site.
In the pane to the right of the Select Entry, click on the General Tab. Here you will find several options. Type in the host name, usually in the format of ftp.(your-domain-name).com. Chose FTP Server Type. Chose the type of logon, usually that is normal.
Type in your username and password and click connect. The Site Manager will close automatically and you will see the commands to logon in the top pane of the main window.
If everything went right a list of folders should be displayed in the right hand panes of the main window. Now it is simple as finding your files in the left hand directory pane, and drag and drop them into the right hand pane, or vise versa.
Filezilla will decide for you what type of file you are transferring, but other FTP clients will ask you for a type, or assume a type.

In Feburary 2016 28,
Access PHP Config. Log in to your cPanel account and scroll down to “Software and Services.” Next, click “PHP Configuration.”
Install the php.ini file. Once you are on this screen, click the button that says “Install PHP.INI Master File.”
Access the php.ini file. Go back to the cPanel main screen. Click “File Manager” and then “Webroot.” Find the file that says “php.ini” and select “Edit.”
Change the maximum file size. Once the configuration file opens, find the line that says “upload_max_filesize=” and change the file size to 300M. Also change the line that says “post_max_size=” to 300M.
Increase the time allowed. Find the lines that say “max_execution_time =30” and “max_input_time =60” and change them both to 120. This allows for the server to allow 120 seconds to execute, or load, scripts and parse data. This may be necessary if you are uploading large files.
Save the changes. Click the button that says “Save Changes.”
Test the settings. Log in to WordPress and try to upload a file that is greater than 2 MB but less than 100 MB. If you still receive an error message, contact your Web host.

How to Upload HighIn Feburary 2016 27,
In Feburary 2016 27,
Visit Craigslist and select the appropriate section for your ad. In the top right corner of your browser, click 'post.'
Enter the relevant information into the fields for post title, description, etc. Click Add/Edit Images---if this option is not available, follow the alternative method in Section 2.
Click the 'Choose File...' button and locate the image on your hard drive. Craigslist allows you to directly upload four images with one post. The website will automatically decrease the size of larger images to a maximum of 300 by 300 pixels, so it is unnecessary to upload especially large images. If you want to preserve the resolution of an image without uploading large images, use the PNG file format (available as a savable format in most image editing software applications). The Craigslist interface will always reduce the size, however, so use the alternative instructions in Section 2 if your image needs to be larger.
Click 'Continue' to see a preview of your uploaded image. If the image still looks unsuitable, click 'Edit' to try a different image or follow the alternative method in Section 2.
Off-Site Images
Visit a free image-hosting website (such as Imgur, Photobucket or Tinypic). Follow the website's instructions to upload your high-quality photo. Copy the URL listed in the Direct Link field.
Visit Craigslist in a separate browser tab or window. Select the appropriate section for your ad. In the top-right corner of your browser, click 'post.'
Enter the relevant information into the fields for post title, description, etc.
Skip a line beneath the end of your description. Enter the HTML code for images into the field and paste your image URL into the source. If you do not know the HTML image code offhand, enter the following code into the description field and paste your image URL into the indicated field (between the quotation marks):
Click 'Continue' to see a preview of your post. If the image is too large or small, return to the image hosting website and use the available resizing tools to reduce the image size. Sizes around 500 by 500 pixels should be suitable for presenting a high-quality image without overwhelming your potential client or customer.

How to Connect to an FTP SiteIn Feburary 2016 27,
In Feburary 2016 27,
Most public FTP sites don't require you to have an account, and instead allow you to log in anonymously. In most cases you won't be required to log in at all, while in others you must enter 'anonymous' as your username and your email address as your password. If the FTP site is restricted, which is often the case with commercial or university sites, you will be prompted to enter the username and password assigned to you by the site administrator.
Web Browser Access
Probably the simplest way to access an FTP site is with your Web browser. If you see a link to the FTP site on a Web page, just click the link. If you have only the FTP site address, enter it in your browser's address bar. Use the format ftp://ftp.domain.com. If the site requires a username or password, your browser prompts you for the information. Once you're at the site, click a folder to view its contents or click the link at the top of the page to go up a level. You can click a file to begin the download process. The main drawback to using your Web browser is that you can't upload files to the FTP site. For this, you will need an FTP client.
Windows File Explorer
If you use Windows, you already have an FTP client built into the operating system. File Explorer in Windows 8, or Windows Explorer in previous versions, doubles as both a file manager and an FTP client. Enter the FTP site address into the address bar using the format ftp://ftp.domain.com. Press 'Enter' to access the FTP site and views its files and directories. The advantage of using File Explorer is that you can drag and drop files to and from the FTP site. In addition, you can right-click anywhere in the right pane and select 'Add a Network Location' to begin a wizard that allows you to set up the FTP site as a permanent network drive.
Mac OS X
If you use a Mac, you can access an FTP site directly from a Finder window. Press 'Command-K' and then enter the FTP site address in the form ftp://ftp.gnu.org. OS X will open a new Finder window for the FTP site. You can drag files to and from the FTP site using this window.
Other FTP Clients
If you plan to do a lot of file transfers, or you need to manage several FTP sites, you may be better off using an FTP client application. FTP clients generally are made specifically for transferring files to and from FTP sites, and include features that often make them easier to use. Some of the free clients you can download include FileZilla, WinSCP and CyberDuck.
Command Line FTP
Although this method is seldom used, it's worth mentioning the command line. Back in the dark ages of the Internet, users connected with FTP sites by typing commands on a command line. You can still connect to FTP sites using the command line in Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, but it helps if you know your way around a Unix/Linux environment. Also, you may need to modify your computer's firewall or anti-virus software settings to enable proper communication with the FTP site when you use the command line.

In Feburary 2016 26,
Enter the address of the remote site in your browser window and click Enter or Return (Mac). Your browser will open the remote site.

How to Setup an FTP Server in UbuntuIn Feburary 2016 26,
In Feburary 2016 26,
Open a terminal window.
Install vsftpd. Vsftpd is the daemon, or server, that users will connect to. To install vsftpd, type 'sudo apt-get install vsftpd.' Ubuntu will ask for your password. Follow the on screen instructions to install the server.
Edit the configuration, or conf, file. To do this, browse to '/etc' using the Nautilus file browser. Nautilus is the default file browser on most Ubuntu installations. Find 'vsftpd.conf' and double-click on the file.
Enable or disable anonymous access. Anonymous access allows people to access your server by simply giving you their email address. If anonymous access is disabled, you will need to create an account for each person who you wish to access your FTP server.
Set the location for the root of the FTP file structure. This setting is controlled by 'secure_chroot_dir' in the vsftpd.conf file.
Restart the FTP server by typing 'sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart.'
Place the files you want to share in the FTP root.

'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.
