Go into Filezilla and create a profile. The hostname is your domain name (example.com). The password is your site's cPanel password. This is assuming you are running on cPanel.
If you are not running on cPanel or have any other difficulty, update this thread with it.

You are on a local server, either xamp or wamp on windows or mamp on mac.

If you want to upload files to your public root, just copy and paste the file in your site installation folder. If in xamp, open htdocs folder, locate your website folder and paste the files as you need be. If using wamp same method just that you locate your website folder inside the "www" folder.


If you still prefer using ftp,

You will need locahost as the host alone.

Other fields will be empty.

You can still use port 21 though.

Hope this helps.

If u need to transfer, get any ftp client software and note all your ftp info of your site.
Usually, you are required to have the below info to your site ftp:

Ftp host address: ftp.yourdomain.com
Ftp username: someone (or someone@somewhere.com depending on how it was configured for you)
Ftp password: hitmein
