Connecting to SFTP with Filezilla

[Amit Yaron]

If you want to transfer files to a site, better use SFTP - Secure File 
Transfer Protocol. The protocol uses port 22, the same port SSH uses.
When you run it from the command line, you may need to add the option 
flag -o with the parameter User. For example:

    sftp <site> -o User=<username>

With Filezilla, you can view a remote file's permission by selecting the 
file, right-clicking it an choosing "File permissions...".  If your 
protocol is SFTP, you'll be able to see the exact file permissions, 
which is another reason to prefer SFTP over FTP.
