SmartFTP is an FTP (File Transfer Protocol), FTPS, SFTP, WebDAV, S3, Google Drive, OneDrive, SSH, Terminal client.

Short-URLs, URL snippers and free “domains.SmartFTP is a file transfer protocol that allows you to upload, modify, and download files between the local computer and the server.

Yay! Once those files transfer you’ve successfully used a SmartFTP client! Congrats!

Then choose the files you wish to upload to the server from your “Local Browser.” Once you’ve choosen the files simply drag them from “Local Browser” window into the other window named “ : Your Username,” and let go of your mouse button. Get into your Public_HTML folder, which is the folder that you’re supposed to put your website in. It’s usually marked by a icon with a folder that has a magnifying glass over it.Ĭlick the image to see larger screenshot.Īlong with your “Local Browser” window, a window that’s named “ : Your Username” should appear after you login to your FTP server. If you don’t, go look for it on the toolbar. Okay now you should have a window in SmartFTP or your FTP client named “Local Browser” or something similar. If you’re using SmartFTP just hit the “Enter” key once you’ve typed your password.

Once you’ve entered all that info, login. The address of the FTP server is usually and/or a long string of numbers known as an IP address. All of that information should have been emailed to you, when you signed up with your host. To login to your FTP server, the three field that you have to enter are the address of the FTP server, your username and your password. To get SmartFTP go to their download page.

I recommend using it for your first time, so you learn the basic skills, then move on to other FTP clients (programs) if you don’t like it. It’s free and it doesn’t come with any spyware or adware. In this tutorial to using FTP, I’ve decided to use SmartFTP.
