7. That’s it, now select the Connect button on the bottom right

   

8. You can either use the left side navigation to find your files to upload, or simply use Finder to go to the folder with your files and drag and drop them into the right side of FileZilla

WebStorm FTP Setup

1. Either create a new project for your website files or use existing, the final result should be that you’ve opened the folder of your project in WebStorm
2. Now you can simply browse the remote files via FTP by clicking on Tools -> Deployment -> Browse Remote host

7. No select the Mappings tab and just add “/” in the “Deployment path on the server…” input

   

8. Click OK to complete adding the server. Now right click on your Project folder in the left side of WebStorm and select Deployment->Download from MyFinalProject or whatever name you chose for your server to get all your files from the server to your computer!

   

9. Now click on Tools->Deployment->Automatic Upload so that when we edit a file and save it, it’s automatically uploaded

   

10. Once the downloading is complete, we can edit any file or create a new file and it should automatically be uploaded to our server!
