# Exchange files with your server using a graphical interface This page explains how to exchange files (backup archives, music, pictures, movies...) with your server using a graphical interface for the (S)FTP protocol. This is an alternative to using `scp` which can be deemed technical and cryptic, or using an app like Nextcloud. [FileZilla](https://filezilla-project.org/) can be used for this. It is a free software and is available for Windows, GNU/Linux and macOS. ## Download and install FileZilla Get the client from the [download page](https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=client). It should automatically detect the version needed for your computer. Otherwise, follow the instructions to [install the client](https://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Client_Installation) Install the program and run *Filezilla*. ## Configuration 1. Click the *Site Manager* icon in the upper left to begin. ![Main screen of Filezilla](images/filezilla_1.png) 2. Click **New Site** and give a name the server you will be using : *Family* here. Fill the settings as on the screenshot (replace the server adress with your own), and click on **Connect**. (N.B. : if you want to interact with the [custom webapp](https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/my_webapp_ynh) files, you should use a different user than `admin`. Refer to the custom webapp documentation.) ![Site manager screen](images/filezilla_2.png) 3. You will get a warning as you connect for the first time to the server. *You can ignore it safely the first time you get it.* ![warning about the unknown fingerprint of the server](images/filezilla_3.png) 4. Filezilla is now asking the `admin` password to connect to your server. ![credential screen asking for the password](images/filezilla_4.png) 5. Once bookmarked, your server will be backup up and you will get this screen. ![View of the "site manager" with the newly server added](images/filezilla_5.png)
