In this video, I show you how to download, install and use FileZilla client to transfer your first file via SFTP in Windows 11. FileZilla is a free File Transfer Protocol (FTP) solution. It supports the following protocols: FTP, FTP over TLS (FTPS), and Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP). It is available in client and server form for Windows, MacOS, and Linux based operating systems (OS). You can use FileZilla to transfer data over one of these protocols to and from your server or computer. For this video demonstration, I will transfer an .MP4 video file to the /media directory on my Ubuntu Linux server hosted on cloud server host provider. DigitalOcean is the server host provider used in this video and it calls it's virtual private servers (VPS) droplets. If you would like to practice FTP in the cloud, you can use my referral link below for DigitalOcean to get $200 in free trial cloud credit.
