Connect Filezilla to Linode

FileZilla is a multi-platform file transfer application that is free and open source.

It supports a variety of file transfer protocols, including SFTP over SSH.

While FTP clients communicate in plaintext, SFTP encrypts both login credentials and files before sending them over the network.

Steps to Connect Filezilla to Linode

Firstly we’ll need root access or a user account with sudo privileges on the Linode.

It’s worth noting that transferring files as root may necessitate changing file ownership and permissions later.

Install FileZilla

We installed FileZilla on Linux using  a package manager:

• CentOS:
  sudo yum install filezilla
• Debian / Ubuntu:
  sudo apt install filezilla

Connect Filezilla to Linode

1. In the host field of FileZilla, we entered Linode’s IP address or domain name.
   In the User name and Password fields, we typed the username and password for the Linode account to which we wanted to connect, and in the Port field, we entered “22.”

   Then, to begin the file transfer session, we clicked on  Quick Connect.

   
2. If we’re connecting to Linode for the first time via SSH or SFTP, we’ll get a warning that the host key is unknown.

   In that case, we checked the fingerprints of the host key and, if they are correct, checked the box next to “Always trust this host and add this key to the cache.

   As a result, it prevents FileZilla from issuing any more warnings unless the key presented to it changes, which should only happen if the remote server’s operating system is reinstalled.

   
3. To proceed, we clicked on the OK button. A split view will appear, with our local filesystem on the left and our Linode’s filesystem on the right.

   We can move files from one side to the other by dragging and dropping them. We can move files from one side to the other by dragging and dropping them.
