How to set up FileZilla to use FTP over SSL with IIS 8

  1. Just a heads up, the following article in the knowledge base seems outdated:

    http://support.Winhost.com/KB/a666/how-to-set-up-filezilla-to-use-ftp-over-ssl.aspx

    I just tried to connect to my hosting (which is hosted on a Windows 2012 with IIS 8.0) using Filezilla 3.7.1 and everything worked fine.

    These are the steps:

    1. Click the button "Open Site Manager".
    2. Click the button "New Site" and name the site.
    3. Fill the following fields:

    Host: <your ftp address here, you can find it in your Winhost Control Panel>
    Protocol: FTP - File Transfer Protocol
    Encryption: Require explicit FTP over TLS
    Logon Type: Normal
    User: <your username here>
    Password: <your password here>

    Good luck!
