• Now once you’ve input your details, hit on “Connect”.

• Now it should be connecting…

You can open the folder remotely public_html and this is where you upload your index.html or any files you want viewable via the public.

If you don’t want them accessible by anyone then keep them in the main directory ABOVE public_html, this will prevent them from being loaded within a browser technically.

A. If you can’t connect:

  1. Make sure you are using the correct credentials.

  2. Make sure Windows Firewall has an exception for the software & your personal antivirus/firewall has an exception or is disabled while using FTP.

  3. If you receive 421 MAX error check that 4096/4096 users aren’t connected in the print out from FileZilla - if there is you will need to keep trying and wait until there is space for you to connect.

B. If speed issues occur diagnose all local faults first make sure your router is correctly maintained and your DNS is up to date if possible try using a wired connection over wireless first to make sure it isn’t local.

Any other errors have a search of the forum or even Google it first! Most issues have been encountered before and can be resolved by 1) waiting it out 2) upgrading to premium hosting - Hostinger or 3) asking the community for advice on your setup.

If you have any questions or queries feel free to reply or message me directly.
