of Tutorial on using FTP software It is everywhere on the Internet. Originally, Weiaisi Blog was not intended to be wordy. Later, the original purpose of this blog was to learn from scratch for novice webmasters. I thought that the original blogger started learning while standing because I didn't know anything. Without much nonsense, let's move on to today's topic: FTP software tutorial.
Generally speaking, FTP software is a tool for data transmission between your local computer and vps (or virtual space). There are many kinds of FTP software. Bloggers have used CuteFtp FlashFXP, Leapftp and 8UFTP have similar functions. Our main function is FTP upload and download. Now bloggers often use 8UFTP. Its advantage is that it is free of installation, and a single file can be used. The account password is stored in an xml file of the same name under the same directory, so that the webmaster can carry it to multiple places for use. Today I will use him to write a tutorial.
Keep in mind that FTP software should not download any similar management software from a website that does not know the source, so as to avoid Trojan viruses. If you are really not sure, you can download and use it from Durian. After all, it has passed Baidu security certification and can be used with confidence.
Let's take a look at the interface after opening. It is divided into four areas, including local computer, remote FTP space, upload and download file status and FTP connection status.
It seems that the four areas are quite complicated. The blogger was also a little confused when using FTP software for the first time, and gradually became familiar with it after several times of use.
First, we take the IP Enter the FTP account and password into the software. Click File - Site Manager in the upper left corner of the software, and click "New Site" in the pop-up window to create a new FTP connection for you, and then enter the IP address and FTP account password on the right side to connect.
Enter the IP you want to log in to in the space of the host name on the right.
Ask your space merchant for your user name and password, or you can see it in the background of the vps merchant (or virtual space) website.
The other options are unchanged by default. Linux VPS should be changed to "passive mode" in advanced options.
Finally, click Connect to see the "FTP Connection Status".
How do I upload local files to vps?
Left click the file you want to upload and drag it to "Remote FTP Space". If there is a file with the same name, you will be prompted whether to overwrite it. After confirmation, you can directly overwrite it.
How to download the file on the vps to the local computer?
Double click the file you want to download, and you can see the download progress and speed in the "Upload and Download Status".
Where can I find the file after downloading it?
Go to "Local Computer Partition" to find it. You can also switch to other partitions and folders before downloading. For example, if you are on disk C, you can switch to any folder on disk D, which can be changed according to your own situation.
The use of FTP software is based on these common operating steps, and other options should not be changed randomly to avoid errors. At present, the simplest and easiest to use is 8UFTP, which is developed by Chinese people and is directly the Chinese version. There is no problem of Chinese cracking, and it is also free to use. Other FTP software is relatively complex, and we can't use so many functions. Novice webmasters can learn basic upload and download operations when using these tools. They don't need to understand ftp software thoroughly.
