3. Download and install an FTP client.

   In this example, we are using FileZilla - a free and reliable FTP client (Download link).

4. Once FileZilla is downloaded and installed, start it and fill in the fields:

   • FTP host. The FTP host name should be a server IP address or example.com, where example.com is a website’s Internet address. The website must be accessible from the Internet.

   • FTP username from step 2

   • FTP password

     

5. Click Quickconnect. After a successful connection, website's data will be listed.
