Hi all,
Here we are going to learn how to access your TLS enabled FTP account through Core FTP and Filezilla
CoreFTP and Filezilla are the familiar one in the hosting industry which is used to connect your FTP account to upload/download your hosting files
To upload huge size of web contents FTP clients are very helpful,
because thee may be a chance of disturbance while uploading a huge files through file manager via browser
Some servers may accept Plain FTP connection which is not an secure one,
but most of the hosting servers will accept FTP connection only from TLS mode
