Import your sites from Filezilla

Once that is selected you will be shown a list of sites (or connections) that were stored in Filezilla. Check off the sites you want to import and click the OK button. For this article we will import the New Site site from Filezilla.

Confirm the sites have been imported

Confirm that the sites from Filezilla have been imported. In this example the site Test Site from Filezilla was succesfully imported.

Wrapping up

This article has shown you how to import your sites from Filezilla into WinSCP. We recommend that you save your Filezilla site credentials in a secondary location should WinSCP be unable to import your settings. If you experience any issues importing your sites or connecting to a site please contact the Sage Service Center at 518-244-4777.
