• Once downloaded, open FileZilla.

 

• Enter the host of your FTP server in the dedicated field as well as your username and password, then click on "Quick connect". If you do not have this information, please contact your host.

 

• Then you will find the files and folders present on your FTP server in the right part.

 

• Navigate through your files until you find the "upload" folder. Then right-click on this folder and select the "File Attributes..." action.

 

• Check the numeric value indicated in the framed field below in order to know if you have write permissions for this folder.
