To upload your site content you will need to configure your FTP client with your FTP details.
If you do not already have FileZilla installed then you will need to download the FileZilla client from their site filezilla-project.org
There are 2 methods to connect with FileZilla one using the quick connect and the other creating a site profile. Using a profile is recommended if you're going to be connecting frequently, as you don't need to enter the details as often.
Connecting With Quick Connect
- Open FileZilla then enter in the required details in the quick connect bar at the top

Username: The username for your ftp account
Password: The password for your ftp account
- After you have entered in all the details select the quick connect and this will then login to your hosting space.
