Preface
It is recommended that you use the scripts provided by III Software whenever possible. On occasion you may need to transfer a file not covered by the scripts. When doing interactive transfers, we recommend the FileZilla client. Once properly configured, it is simple to use and works well with our secure FTP server. For those reasons, this is our recommended solution.

Version
This document was based on Version 3.2.7 of FileZilla Client.

Objective
This document provides information on how to configure the FileZilla Client to connect to III Software's secure FTP server. FileZilla Client is a 3rd party application available from The FileZilla Project. This document will only describe the steps needed to connect to our server, it does not attempt to teach you how to use this 3rd party application. You can find more information on the FileZilla Documentation page or consult the documentation included with this fine software.
