This tutorial is divided into two parts. First part deals with installing and configuring FileZilla Server and the second part deals with installing and configuring the FileZilla Client.

Downloading Xampp

Download Xampp from the following link for your preferred operating system.

https://www.apachefriends.org/index.html

Installing FileZilla Server on Xampp

After installing xampp, we need to make sure that the Filezilla server is also installed as a service on xampp. Do check this open the Xampp Control Panel.

Make sure you see a green tick next to Filezilla, as shown in the image below. If you don’t then you can click to the box next to Filezilla and it will ask you to install the service. Click on “Yes”.

Starting Filezilla Server

Once the FileZilla server service has been installed, we can now move on to the part of starting the service.

Steps:

  1. Click on the “Start” button next to Filezilla, if all components are installed correctly, the service will start and you’ll see a window like the one shown on the next page.

Creating Users

Now comes the part of creating users, who can access our server as clients through the FileZilla Client (we’ll cover the client part later in this tutorial).

Steps:

  1. Go to Edit > Users on the top pane of the server window. You’ll see a new window similar to this one.
  1. Click on the “Add” button on the right side of this window. A new dialog box will be displayed. You need to enter the name of the User you’re creating. Click on “OK” to continue. I’ve create “User 1”.
  2. For setting the password, check mark the field next to the Password text field, so that you can enter the password.
  3. We’re not done yet, we need to share the folder with user as well so that he can access the files in it through the Filezilla Client.
  4. Click on “Shared folders”, it will be present on the left pane.
  1. Click on “OK” button at the bottom left side.

We’re done with setting up the server and creating the users. We can make multiple users and share folders with them in the same way.

Now we move on to the second and final part of this tutorial. We’ll now use the Filezilla Client to access the server using the user credentials, both of which we created on the Filezilla Server.

Downloading & Installing Filezilla Client

Download the Filezilla client from the following link and install it.

https://filezilla-project.org/download.php

Accessing Server through the Filezilla Client

Steps:

  1. In order to access the server we created we need the following four parameters:

Host : It will be the IP address of the computer on which the server is created. Since I also created the server on the same PC from which I’m accessing it, I’ll put in “localhost” as my host name.

Username: You’ll type the user’s name which we created on Filezilla Server. I created “User 1” so I’ll put that name in this field.

Password: It is the password which we set for the user we created.

Port: Default port for FTP is “21”.

Click on “Quickconnect” to connect to the server.

Now we can access the directory which we shared with this user. In our case it will be the “Working Folder”.

Downloading & editing the file

Since for our need we need two or more people to access the same file. Each one of the users, will download the file from the Filezilla Client on to their computer and make changes to it.

Steps:

  1. Right click on the file we placed in the trunk folder of our “Working Folder” directory, and click on “Download”

Uploading the file & using SVN commit

Steps:

  1. Make changes to this downloaded file and upload it back to the server. For uploading it, right click on your file and click on “Upload” and select the parameters as shown in the image below.
