title: 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.*
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Filezilla is now asking the `admin` password to connect to your server.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Once bookmarked, your server will be backup up and you will get this screen.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<div class="alert alert-success">
|
|
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-right"></span> You can now use your new bookmark to connect to the server
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
1. Connect to the Site created previously. *Your passwork might be asked again*
|
|
|
|
The left panel corresponds to your computer. The right panel corresponds to your remote YunoHost server. You can browse folders and drag-and-drop files between the two panels.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. In the right panel, you can browse to `/home/yunohost.backup/archives/` to find [backup archives](/backup).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<div class="alert alert-warning">
|
|
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-cloud-download"></span> Be sure to download both the `.tar.gz` and `.json` files.
|
|
</div>

## Alternatives to Filezilla
|
|
|
|
### GNU/Linux
|
|
|
|
From any recent GNU/Linux, you should be able to use the `file manager` to reach your server.
|
|
|
|
Nautilus from Gnome3 has features similar to FileZilla, out of the box.

|
### Windows
|
|
|
|
* [WinSCP](https://winscp.net/) is also a nice candidate for Windows
|
|
|
|
### macOS
|
|
|
|
* [Cyberduck](https://cyberduck.io/) is a free software available on macOS
