Connecting Your FileZilla FTP Client to GoDaddy

Before you start, you need some essential information: your Windows Hosting website's IP address or domain name. Most FTP clients will work with these steps, and we'll use FileZilla to demonstrate how to move files to your website's root directory.

To upload files from your computer to your Windows Hosting account using File Transfer Protocol (FTP), you can follow these steps. If you have a Managed WordPress plan, you'll need to use Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) instead of FTP. Note that GoDaddy's Web Hosting, Web Hosting Plus, and Windows Hosting plans support passive mode FTP.

FileZilla is an excellent choice for transferring files between your computer and server. It's free, open-source software that supports both FTP and SFTP connections. If you're using a business account, enter your GoDaddy FTP username and password in the appropriate fields and click 'Connect.' If you have a personal account, leave these fields blank and click 'Connect.'

To connect to GoDaddy FTP using FileZilla, follow these steps:

1. Open FileZilla on your computer.

2. Enter the following information into the Site Manager:

* Host: Your domain name or the IP address of your server

* Username: Your GoDaddy FTP username

* Password: Your GoDaddy FTP password

3. Click 'Connect' to establish a connection with your GoDaddy FTP server.

4. Once connected, you should see the file listing for the current directory.

5. Select the files you want to transfer and click on the 'Transfer' button.

If you're having trouble connecting or transferring files, check that your password is correct and that your account is active. If you continue to experience issues, contact GoDaddy support for assistance.

Remember, FileZilla FTP is a common way to transfer files between your computer and server. It's a reliable and secure method for managing your website's content. By following these steps, you can easily connect your FileZilla FTP client to your GoDaddy account and start transferring files today!
