FileZilla Question - Akpom96 - 06-13-2018

I am curious to what FileZilla is, but I know that it should be used for this milestone. Is it supposed to be downloaded? Is there a link for the download?

FileZilla is a free FTP client and FTP server.
For the milestone #2 exercise we just need the ftp client. You can download it here https://filezilla-project.org/

You can verify your FTP server in IIS works by using your browser. However, a real FTP client like FileZilla has a lot more functionality.
Once you have it running and connected, try:
  • uploading files to your server
  • downloading files
  • renaming files
  • create subfolders
  • delete files and folders
FTP is a protocol (i.e. a language) for handling files, which includes mainly the above operations.
