Prerequisites

FTP service has been set up on the cloud server. Refer to Set Up FTP Service for details.

Directions

  1. Log in to the CVM.
  2. Download and install the open-source software FileZilla.

Using FileZilla version 3.5.3 for FTP uploads may result in upload failures. It is recommended to obtain and use FileZilla version 3.5.1 or 3.5.2 from the official website.

  1. Open FileZilla.
  2. In the FileZilla window, fill in the host, user name, password, port, and other information, and click Quick Connect.
    Configuration Description:
    • Host: the public network IP of the CVM. You can view the public IP of the corresponding CVM on the instance management page in the CVM console.
    • Username: The FTP user account set during the FTP service setup. The figure takes "ftpuser1" as an example.
    • Password: The password for the FTP user account set during the FTP service setup.
    • Port: The FTP listening port, default is 21.
