Using Site Manager
You can use the FileZilla Site Manager to specify specific site parameters and connect to the targeted FTP site. The Site Manager allows you to store entries and configure more parameters than the Quick Connect allows.
Special case: Servers in LAN
If the server you are connecting to is in your home LAN, then there is not an address (domain name) as you may know from the Internet. In LAN, you simply use the internal IP address of the server PC. In most cases the network name (computer name) will do, too. If the server is on the same PC as Filezilla, you can even use localhost or 127.0.0.1 as hostname.
NOTE: If you connect from the outside of your LAN this does not apply, you have to use the external (WAN) IP instead.
Connecting to the Host-99 FTP server
Site Manager Configurations

3. Host Field: ftp.yourdomain.com (Replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain hosted by Host-99) Do not use Capital letters in this field.

8. Username Field: Enter the FTP user you created within your cPanel under the "FTP Management" section inside the "FTP User Accounts"

Transfer Configurations
ate to File > Site Manager > Transfer Settings Tab
2. FileZilla sets this to "Default". Host-99 servers require passive mode. We recommend choosing "Passive" manually to insure proper connection
3. By default FileZilla has "Limit number of simultaneous connections" to 0 (Unchecked as shown in image above). If connection timeouts are problematic read this article
=========================================================================
In some case the FP client may fail. We recommend checking the "Failure method"
1. Navigate to Edit > Settings
2. Click on the "FTP" under the Connection Tree to the left
3. Checkmark "Allow Fall Back To Other Transfer Mode On Failure"
Once you have FilaZilla configured and connection fails, please review other FTP articles to confirm everything has been met and configured properly. If connection failures continue contact our Support Team for further assistance.
