How to install and configure FileZilla FTP Client

FileZilla logo featuring stylized "Fz" on a red background, representing the FileZilla FTP client for efficient file transfer.

Many times files are just too darn big to send over email or will take up too much space in an online drive like DropBox or Google Drive (my favorite).  When that happens you can’t beat a good old FTP client/server for sending large files

1. Install FileZilla FTP client from https://filezilla-project.org/download.php

2. After installation, go start up FileZilla
