Setting Up FileZilla for your Shellium account
Download
Go to http://filezilla-project.org/ and then click on “Download FileZilla Client. Proceed to download the version that you want. Do not download the sources unless you want to compile your own version. Alternatively, if your platform has a package manager, Filezilla is most likely located in the “Internet” category.
Once you install Filezilla, you will get to this screen:

You can create a one-time connect profile by filling out the quick-connect bar:
convert: unable to open image `/var/www/wikilive/images/c/c2/Filezilla-quickconnect.jpg': @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/2489.
convert: missing an image filename `/tmp/transform_4127b7a-1.jpg' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/2940.
Use ftp.shellium.org:22 for the host and port
Create a Profile Using the Site Manager
If you want to create a profile, you can use the Site Manager (File -> Site Manager, or CTRL-S):
In the Site Manager dialog box, do the following:
1. Click the "New Site" button 2. Give the new profile a name 3. Under the general tab, enter and make the following entries/settings: Host: ftp.shellium.org Port: 22 Severtype: SFTP - SSH File Transfer Protocol Logontype: Normal User: (your username goes here) Password: (your password goes here)
convert: unable to open image `/var/www/wikilive/images/6/6b/Filezilla-add.jpg': @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/2489.
convert: missing an image filename `/tmp/transform_2bc507c-1.jpg' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/2940.
Click "OK" to save the profile for later, or "Connect" to save the profile AND start the connection. The status window will go through a long bit of text to the extent of “Your now connected”
Now you can navigate to various folders,
on your local machine (Left panel) or the remote server (Right panel). To upload or download something, drag it into the opposite panel.
If you want to change file permissions, right click on a file and select “File Permissions”
