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.
Download Xampp from the following link for your preferred operating system.
https://www.apachefriends.org/index.html
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”.
Once the FileZilla server service has been installed, we can now move on to the part of starting the service.
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).
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.
Download the Filezilla client from the following link and install it.

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”.
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.
