Welcome to FileZilla!
FileZilla is a File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
front-end that will allow you to upload
podcasts and other media files to a server (the
CSME’s, your school’s/districts, or personal)
for hosting to the general public. This tutorial
is designed to take you through the process of
uploading a file to a server, step by step.
