| 3 | After downloading and installing [http://filezilla-project.org/download.php FileZilla], connecting to your server should be pretty straight forward. By following the steps below, you should be set in short order. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | == Use the Site Manager == |
| 6 | While you can use the Quickconnect button, it may be easier to use Firezilla's Site Manager. You can access this by clicking the top left most button, going to File >> Site Manager, or typing Ctl(the control key)+S. |

| 10 | == Create a New Account == |
| 11 | Within the File Manager, you can add new sites and configure the appropriate connection protocols to use. There are three steps to do this for MF/PL. |
| 12 | 1. Create the new site by clicking on "New Site" |
| 13 | 2. Set your server details ([wiki:sftp see setting up sftp]). |
| 14 | - Host = your mayfirst server name |
| 15 | - '''SFTP - This is very important as it is how you securely connect to MF/PL servers (you cannot connect without this option)''' |
| 16 | - The username for your MF/PL account. |
| 17 | - The password for the account. |
| 18 | 3. Click the "Connect" button. |

| 27 | == Trouble Shooting == |
| 28 | If you are having problems connecting, the most likely problem is an error with the configuration information. |
| 29 | |
| 30 | '''Check''' |
| 31 | 1. That the host name is correct (usually something like malcolm.mayfirst.org), but it must be the correct server. |
| 32 | 2. That you've chosen SFTP as your connection method. |
| 33 | 3. That the username is correct. |
| 34 | 4. That the password is correct. If you've forgotten your password, you can reset it [https://members.mayfirst.org/resetpass/ here]. |
