When you configure FileZilla, you will download an XML file and import it to your FileZilla client.

To configure the FileZilla FTP client:

Step – 1: Click the Configure FTP Client link that corresponds to the FTP account you wish to use to connect to your FTP server.

Step – 2: Click the FTP or SFTP link to download the XML file. We recommend that you use SFTP for the most secure connection. NOTE: This step will over-write any previous XML configuration file without warning.
