  • I was going to use FileZilla to do FTP file transfers to update arduinoetal.net on BlueHost.
    However later learned a better way: zip what I'm transferring, and use BH FM


    Regardless, to use FileZilla for FTP (which is most helpful to move individual, unzipped folders):
    I must first have an FTP account at BlueHost:

    • log in to BlueHost portal:
      https://my.bluehost.com/
      username: arduinoetal.net
      account password: [see accounts file]
    • scroll down to Helpful Links: under Advanced,
      select sFTP/SSH
      scroll down and select "FTP Accounts"
    • select Add FTP Account:
      Log In: [enter desired FTP account name, eg...] jayrabe
            [@arduinoetal.net suffix will be automatically added]
      Password: [enter new desired FTP password - twice]
      Directory:
        automatic prefix: /home2/arduinoe/
        Default suggested directory is: arduinoetal.net/jayrabe
        Instead enter: public_html

      Click: Create FTP account
            Account created

  • Make FTP connection with FileZilla:
    • open FileZilla
    • enter:
      Host = ftp.arduinoetal.net
      Username = jayrabe@arduinoetal.net
      Password = [newly set FTP account password]
      port blank
    • click quickConnect
      do not save password
      OK
      "server certificate unknown" - click OK
  • Transfer files:
    • Left panel is local, ie. your PC
      Right panel is remote, ie. BlueHost
    • Navigate to desired folders in each panel,
      then drag and drop to move folders from one panel to the other, in either direction
      couldn't figure out how to move individual files...

    -------------------------------------------------------------------

  • New edits: - my best guesses at the moment ...
    • to move files to/from your PC and a remote server, you must have an FTP account on the remote server
    • open FileZilla on your PC
    • log into your remote server FTP account
    • transfer files
      --------------------------

    • Transferring files from tierra.net
      • log in to tierra.net:
        username: tangomoments.com
        password: [on file...]
      • Hosting -> hosting home -> ftp account management
        add new ftp account
        enter desired username & password,
        suggest retain default time-out and directory
      • open FileZilla on local PC
        enter host URL: ftp.tangomoments.com
        enter username and password created on tierra.net
        port: enter 21 or leave blank
        click quickconnect
        unknown certificate: click OK
      • left panes are local PC, right-hand are remote computer
        browse to desired folders, drag & drop to transfer files
        AFAIK top panes are for folders, bottom ones for files
