FileZilla is a free FTP server interface program that lets you upload and download pages, images, videos and documents from you website. The FileZilla program accesses your website through a server. You may need to change the password you use to access the website and the server if you suspect someone has hacked into your system. Using FileZilla makes it a straightforward process to change the password. All you need is a few minutes and a new, memorable password.
Step 1
Log into the server from your machine. You must use your own computer to access the server and change the password.
