filezilla ftp

If you use shared web hosting with Kinamo, you can use an FTP program to modify or put your Web site online.

A popular, easy-to-use and free FTP program is FileZilla, available for both Mac and Windows. You can download it from the FileZilla Web site.

  1. After installation, go to the File menu, Site Manager.
  2. Then choose New Site and you can enter a name, preferably www.yourwebsite.be.
  3. Once you have entered a name, enter the name of the server under Host, which can be found on the MyKinamo website, under Websites, FTP user.
  4. At Port, always enter 21.
  5. At Encryption you may indicate Use explicit FTP over TLS if available.
  6. As Logon Type, choose Normal.
  7. In the User field, enter the FTP user you can see in MyKinamo.
  8. In the Password field, enter the password you can copy from the MyKinamo site.
  9. When you are ready, click on Connect

FileZilla will now connect to the FTP server at Kinamo. After connecting, you will see a series of commands go by at the top, this is the Log window. If you see green Response messages and Status: Directory listing successful then you have a correct connection to our server.

In the right window you will see Remote site. There is a folder there corresponding to the name of your hosting. You should place your files in the subfolder /www.

To put files online, drag and drop them from the left window(your local folders) to the www folder in the right window(the Kinamo server).

If everything went correctly you can now surf to your website via the web browser and admire your website.
