Pre-requisite |
To practice this tutorial, you should have working knowledge of any one operating system.
To learn aboutLinux OS, please watch theLinux spoken tutorials on this website. |
Switch to FileZilla | Let us begin.
I am already in the FileZilla interface. |
Let me show you how to connect to the remote machine without entering too many details. | |
Point to Quickconnect | Locate the Quickconnect button in the Quickconnect bar. |
Select the dropdown arrow | Now, select the dropdown arrow next it. |
List of machines | It will display a list of remote machines which we were connected to earlier. |
List of machines >> Select | We have connected to only one machine and the same is displayed here.
Select that. |
Type password if prompted | Provide the remote machine's password, if prompted and press OK.
Since I had saved it earlier, it does not prompt me to do so here. |
We are now connected to our remote machine. | |
Go to SpokenTutorial folder on the remote machine | Browse to the SpokenTutorial folder in the remote machine, which we had uploaded earlier. |
Upload sample.odt to remote machine | Now, from my local machine, I will upload a document.
This has already been explained earlier. |
Point to sample.odt | Notice here- the document sample.odt has been uploaded to the remote machine. |
Right-click on sample.odt | I want to rename this document.
To do so, right-click on the file and select Rename option. |
The filename is now editable. | |
Rename as script.odt | I will rename as script.odt and press Enter key. |
Now the file sample.odt has been renamed as script.odt. | |
Similarly, we can rename any file or folder in both the local and remote machines. | |
Is it possible to view or edit the files from the remote location?
Yes, it is possible! Let’s see how to do so. | |
Right-click on script.odt | Right-click on the file script.odt |
Select view/edit. | Select view/edit. |
Downloading | The file script.odt starts downloading.
It gets saved in the local machine's temporary folder. |
LibreOffice Writer opens | Then it opens in its default application.
As I downloaded a Writer document, it will open in LibreOffice Writer. |
Delete the first two lines >> click on Save. | In the opened document, let me delete the first two lines and click on Save. |
Close the document | Now close the Writer document. |
Popup | Immediately, a popup dialog box opens. |
Point to the messages | It says, “A file previously opened has been changed” along with the file information.
It also says, “Upload this file back to server?” |
Point to the message >> select the checkbox >> click Yes | And there is a check box, “Finish editing and delete local file”.
I will select the check box and click on Yes. |
Point to the status pane | Now the locally edited file is uploaded back to the remote machine. |
So viewing and editing the files in the remote machine is quite easy.
Note: The software required to view/edit the file must be installed in your local machine. In my case, it was LibreOffice Writer. <<PAUSE>> | |
Right-click on the file >> select File Permissions. | To set the file permissions, right-click on the file and select File Permissions. |
Dialog box opens. | The Change file attributes dialog box opens. |
sSlide 5: | Change the permissions as per your requirement.
To know more about permissions, go thorough the File attributes tutorial in the Linux series. |
Click on OK. | I will keep the permissions as it is and click on OK.
<<PAUSE>> |
Right-click on the file >> select Delete | To delete a file from the remote machine, right-click on the file and select Delete. |
Dialog box opens. | A dialog box named Confirmation needed opens. |
Click Yes. | Click Yes. |
Now the file script.odt is deleted from the remote machine.
Please note: This deletion is permanent. <<PAUSE>> | |
Do we always need to browse the specific location for file transfer?
No, we can bookmark the locations and access it easily later. | |
Before adding bookmarks, we have to copy the current connection to the Site Manager. | |
Click on File menu >>
Select “Copy current connection to Site manager”. |
To do so, click on File menu.
Select “Copy current connection to Site manager”. |

Point to-
Global bookmark Site-specific bookmark |
It has two types-
Global bookmark – This bookmark will work for all the connected machines. Site-specific bookmark – this is for the specific remote machine. |
Choose “Site-specific bookmark” | I will choose “Site-specific bookmark”. |
Type – Spoken | In the Name field, I will type – Spoken |
Point to Paths | The next segment is Paths.
This displays the local machine & remote machine's current path. |
Point to Browse | If you wish to change it, click on Browse.
I want to bookmark the current locations only, so I will skip this. |
Click OK. | Click on OK. |
Now these locations are bookmarked. | |
Go to Menubar >> select Bookmarks. | To access the bookmarks, go to the Menubar & select Bookmarks. |
Click on bookmark - spoken | Here you can see the name of the bookmark - spoken, which we created.
Click on it. |
