Is there a way to bypass Filezilla?

I'm having major problems with Filezilla and was wondering if there is anything program/software on cpanel that would be equivalent to Filezilla?

What problems exactly are you encountering with FileZilla? In my opinion that is the best free FTP program you can get. If you're on Mac you could give Transmit a go. Another free option would be Cyberduck, which is available for both operating systems.

Hey Micaela.

I would highly recommend using Cyberduck instead of FileZilla. It is used by a few teachers here on Treehouse.

Re Filezilla - have you tried downloading the latest version / reinstalling?

Re cPanel, there is a File Manager icon where you can edit/delete etc online [https://documentation.cpanel.net/display/ALD/File+Manager]

I just did all of the steps in the video and uploaded all of the files through filezilla, and when I went to my blog it looks nothing like what it did before I began. None of my old posts are there or anything! I have no idea where I went wrong, but it was during the Filezilla part for sure.

Just to add to others suggestions, I personally like using Sublime Text [https://www.sublimetext.com/buy] with the SFTP add-on [https://wbond.net/sublime_packages/sftp/buy] a total of $90 is a small price to pay for such a great app :-)

If you don't feel like spending any money but still want a great open-source text editor then I would highly recommend Atom. I used to use Sublime Text 3 but I switched over to Atom and it is awesome! Check It Out
