How to use FXP - FlashFXP

Step 1

You download the program FlashFXP from:
http://www.flashfxp.com/download

Step 2

You install FlashFXP and then you start it

Step 3

You add the servers between which you will send files using FXP

to do it you go to Sites -> Site Manager

Step 4

Next you click on New Site and give the name of your server.

Step 5

You choose one of the following Connection Type options:

FTP – normal connection without encoding

SFTP over SSH – encoded SFTP connection

FTP using Explicit SSL (Auth TLS or Auth SSL) – encoded FTP connection

You fill in the blanks:
Address – IP number or hostname, which can be found in the Client Area
User Name – the name of the user which can be found in the Client Area
Password – the password which can be found in the Client Area

The same needs to be done for the other server with which you will connect.

Step 6

Using Site Manager and the servers added previously, you connect to the first and then the second server by clicking on Connect.

Next you choose the file you want to send from one server to the other and right click -> Transfer [IMPORTANT!! To achieve properly working transfer from server to server you need to enable the FXP option on both servers!]

If everything was done correctly, your file should be transferred without any errors.
