5 minute wordpress install

Hello,

When downloading the filezilla software, should we download the filezilla client or filezilla server? (when doing the 5 minute wordpress installation).

I'm guessing that since we're going to be uploading wordpress files to server, I should be using the ftp-client. Can someone please confirm this for me.

Thanks!

You want the client- you are downloading data from someone else's ftp server.

Server: Host files on your PC for FTP clients to send/retrieve.

Client: Transfer files from/to servers.

What you are doing with wordpress is building it on a mamp or sitcom server so won't need the filezilla server. but would need the filezilla client to transfer your project onto a server. hope that helps
