How do I configure FileZilla and want to connect using SFTP?

There are two ways to connect with the FileZilla client and the settings are different depending on which way you choose:

QuickConnect

Host: sftp://islandnet.com
Username: Your account username
Password: Your account password
Port: 220

Site Manager

Required field settings:

Host: islandnet.com
Port: 220
Protocol: SFTP - SSH Transfer Protocol
Login Type: Normal
Username: Your account username
Password: Your account password

The first time you connect FileZilla will warn you regarding the server your connecting to,  you want to trust the connection.

Note: If you configure one method then always use that way to connect using that method to avoid connection.
