<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nWe have a similar guide for Windows PC<\/strong>: Transfer Files to and from Raspberry Pi using FileZilla FTP<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Before proceeding, make sure you check the following prerequisites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The FileZilla Client is an open-source cross-platform software that supports FTP, FTPS, and SFTP. It can be installed on Mac OS\/Linux computers or Windows PC. In this guide, we’ll show you how to install FileZilla on Mac OS computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let’s download the software and install it. Go to the official website and download it by clicking the “Download FileZilla Client<\/a>” button.<\/p>\n\n\n Even though it says it’s for Mac OS computers with Intel chips, it also runs completely fine on computers with M1\/M2 chips. I’ve tested it myself.<\/p>\n\n\n Choose the Free version in the left option highlighted below, it has all the features needed.<\/p>\n\n\n Once the FileZilla Client installation file has been downloaded, open it and complete the installation steps.<\/p>\n\n\n Click the “Open<\/strong>” button.<\/p>\n\n\n And allow FileZilla to upload and download files from remote computers.<\/p>\n\n\n Finally, after installing FileZilla software, open it.<\/p>\n\n\n Having an SSH connection established with your Raspberry Pi<\/a>, run the following command to get the Raspberry Pi IP address:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Save your Raspberry IP Address, because you’ll need it in the next step to establish the FTP connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now it’s time to establish an FTP connection with your Raspberry Pi. In the FileZilla top bar, enter your Raspberry Pi details:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you’ve entered the required configuration settings, press the “Quickconnect<\/strong>” button.<\/p>\n\n\n You can either save the Raspberry Pi username and password, or just click the OK<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n\n\n Then, click the OK <\/strong>button and the connection should be established instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n Once the FTP connection is established, in the “Remote site<\/strong>” window (highlighted in the picture below) allows you to browse your Raspberry Pi directories and access all its files.<\/p>\n\n\n You can quickly download any files or folders from your Raspberry Pi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can also edit the file, create a new directory, create new files, delete files, rename files, and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n Once the file has been downloaded, open the “Successful transfers<\/strong>” tab (at the bottom left corner) to find the location where the file was saved on your computer.<\/p>\n\n\n You can also transfer\/upload any files or folders from your Mac OS computer to the Raspberry Pi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Find the file or folder that you want to transfer to your Raspberry Pi and drag it to the “Remote site<\/strong>” window on FileZilla to the desired folder location.<\/p>\n\n\n Once the file has been uploaded to your RPi, in the bottom left corner you can open the “Successful transfers<\/strong>” to see if the process has been completed.<\/p>\n\n\n When using a Raspberry Pi, sometimes you want to transfer files to the Raspberry Pi or download existing files remotely. Having FileZilla installed makes it very easy to accomplish this task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We have other practical Raspberry Pi tutorials that you may find useful:<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can find all our Raspberry Pi Projects on the following link:<\/p>\n\n\n\nPrerequisites<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
