filezilla

Have you ever backed up your website before? If not, you need to start doing so, right now. I’ve prepared a step-by-step tutorial to show you how to use the free FTP tool Filezilla to download a backup copy of your website. If you missed my introduction to FTP, please read it first.

Before we start

I’m going to assume you’ve already downloaded your free copy of Filezilla and made a note of your website’s FTP account information, namely:

1. Your FTP host name
2. Your FTP user name
3. Your FTP password

If you haven’t done this yet, you’ll need to do so in order to follow the rest of the tutorial.

For your final preparation step, go to your ‘My Documents’ folder on your PC and right-click, then choose ‘New > Folder’ and give your folder the name of your website (e.g. thinkdave.com).
