FileZilla Quick Connect example

As you can see, we have changed our host address on FileZilla from just 145.239.3.94 to sftp://145.239.3.94. In order to connect with FileZilla to our SFTP servers, you have to add the prefix sftp:// before the host address.

That's it! You are now connected to your service and able to use FileZilla to transfer files.
