There's a useful little feature in FileZilla that enables you to save your server login details for quick connecting - very useful anytime, but especially if you have sites on several servers.
Select File - Site Manager and in the window click New Site button at the bottom. Put ftp.yourdomain.com in the Host box on the right and make sure the Normal radio button is selscted below it. This will allow you to fill in Login and Password details and you can save that site. Use the same process for any other sites you have on different servers.
When you come to FTP to one of your sites, select Site Manager again and double-click on the file for the site you want in the left hand column. FileZilla will immediately connect to that site. Saves a lot of hassle.
The drag-and-drop feature of FileZilla lets you upload very quickly. If you are uploading a full site, with images in an images folder, you can drag-and-drop the whole folder across. You can also select your html files in batches and drag them across in bulk, and you don't have to wait for one lot to upload before dragging the next lot across. This means you can set up the upload of many files and then go do something else, which frees up time no end.
There are a few handy things you can do with files that are already on your servers if you right click on them. The dropdown allows you to download, rename, delete files, and you can also use it to create folders on the server.
In the nest post, I will describe how you can use FileZilla toCHMOD script files you have uploaded so they will function on your server.
