Time Narration
00:01 Welcome to the spoken tutorial on File Handling and Bookmarks in FileZilla.
00:08 In this tutorial we will learn to-View, edit, rename and delete files in the remote machine and Add and manage Bookmarks
00:22 To record this tutorial, I'm using

Ubuntu Linux OS– 14.04 FileZilla – 3.10.2 And a workingInternet connection.

00:39 To practice this tutorial, you should have working knowledge of any one operating system.
00:46 To learn aboutLinux OS, please watch theLinux spoken tutorials on this website.
00:54 Let us begin.I am already in the FileZilla interface.
01:00 Let me show you how to connect to the remote machine without entering too many details.
01:07 Locate the Quickconnect button in the Quickconnect bar.
01:12 Now, select the drop-down arrow next it.
01:17 It will display a list of remote machines which we were connected to earlier.
01:23 We have connected to only one machine and the same is displayed here.Select that.
01:31 Provide the remote machine's password, if prompted and press OK.
01:37 Since I had saved it earlier, it does not prompt me to do so here. We are now connected to our remote machine.
01:47 Browse to the SpokenTutorial folder in the remote machine, which we created earlier.
01:54 Now, from my local machine, I will upload a document.This has already been explained here.
02:03 Notice here- the document sample.odt has been uploaded to the remote machine.
02:11 I want to rename this document.To do so, right-click on the file and select Rename option.
02:20 The filename is now editable.
02:24 I will rename as script.odt and press Enter key.
02:32 Now the file sample.odt has been renamed as script.odt.
02:41 Similarly, we can rename any file or folder in both the local and remote machines.
02:48 Is it possible to view or edit the files from the remote location?Yes, it is possible!
02:56 Let’s see how to do so. Right-click on the file script.odt
03:03 Select view/edit.
03:06 The file script.odt starts downloading. It gets saved in the local machine's temporary folder.
03:16 Then it opens in its default application. As I downloaded a Writer document, it will open in LibreOffice Writer.
03:29 In the opened document, let me delete the first two lines and click on Save.
03:37 Now close the Writer document.
03:40 Immediately, a popup dialog box opens.
03:45 It says, “A file previously opened has been changed” along with the file information. It also says, “Upload this file back to server?
03:59 And there is a check box, “Finish editing and delete local file”.I will select the check box and click on Yes.
04:10 Now the locally edited file is uploaded back to the remote machine.
04:16 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.
04:31 In my case, it was LibreOffice Writer.
04:36 To set the file permissions, right-click on the file and select File Permissions.
04:44 The Change file attributes dialog box opens.
04:50 Change the permissions as per your requirement.To know more about permissions, go thorough the File attributes tutorial in the Linux series.
05:02 I will keep the permissions as it is and click on OK.
05:08 To delete a file from the remote machine, right-click on the file and select Delete.
05:15 A dialog box named Confirmation needed opens.
05:21 Click Yes.
05:23 Now the file script.odt is deleted from the remote machine. Please note: This deletion is permanent.
05:35 Do we always need to browse the specific location for file transfer? No, we can bookmark the locations and access it easily later.
05:48 Before adding bookmarks, we have to copy the current connection to the Site Manager.
05:55 To do so, click on File menu.Select “Copy current connection to Site manager”.
06:04 Site Manager window opens.
06:07 On the left, rename the New site as “my site”.
06:13 The click on OK.
06:16 Now in the Main menu bar, select Bookmarks.
06:21 It lists 2 options – Add bookmark and Manage bookmarks.
06:29 Let me select Add bookmark.
06:32 The New bookmark dialog box opens.
06:36 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.

06:50 I will choose “Site-specific bookmark”.
06:54 In the Name field, I will type – Spoken
07:00 The next segment is Paths. This displays the local machine & remote machine's current path.
07:09 If you wish to change it, click on Browse.I want to bookmark the current locations only, so I will skip this.
07:19 Click on OK.
07:21 Now these locations are bookmarked.
07:25 To access the bookmarks, go to the Menubar & select Bookmarks.
07:32 Here you can see the name of the bookmark - spoken, which we created.

Click on it.

07:40 Now we are automatically redirected to the bookmarked location.

This brings us to the end of this tutorial.Let us summarize.
