Before we can actually install the WordPress Script, we need a program that will allow us to upload files from our computer to our webhost. File Transfer Protocol or FTP will allow you to simultaneously upload all types of files to you hosting account. There are a lot of free FTP programs that you download through the internet for free but I prefer using Filezilla. This is a reliable cross-platform graphical FTP, FTPS and SFTP client that has a lot of features and supports any computer operating system.

You can download the latest version of Filezilla from the official page of SourceForge.net, Filezilla Page. After downloading the setup file, follow these installation procedures:

Open the setup file and choose your preferred language for installation. Agree to the License Terms and Agreement.
Choose default values and settings for components and general settings.
Browse for preferred destination for Filezilla. This is almost always Drive C:\Program Files\Filezilla.
Click Next and wait for the program to install completely.

Once the program has been successfully installed, open the program. You will now create access from your computer to your webhost so that you can upload and download files to and from it. Open your site manager by Clicking File, the Site Manager or simply Ctrl + S.

Follow these steps to add a new site profile on your Filezilla:

Click “New Site” then enter a name to distinguish your host or specific website domain.
If you are adding access to the main domain in your hosting account, just input your domain under the “Host” field.
Your Logontype should be set to Normal.
Input the username and password for your hosting account. This is this the same as your username and password if you are adding your main domain name.
Leave “Don’t save password” check box unchecked so that you can connect to your web host for your next use just by clicking connect.

There you go! You can now easily upload files to your web host or download files from it.

WinRAR is an archiver and data compression tool which is mainly used for compressing documents, that is to reduce file size into a more manageable one. This is often used to reduce the size of the files to be uploaded or attached to emails for faster uploading for the sender and faster downloading for the recipient.

WinRAR has a very practical user interface and compresses files faster than WinZip. It can be used to compress and extract different file types and is very easy to use. Among the file formats it supports are rar, zip, cab, arj, lzh, ace, etc. It also supports different operating systems such as Windows and Mac making it more desirable to use. Compared to other archivers, WinRAR has only the basic features of an archiving tool but it works faster and is more effective in reducing file size without sacrificing quality.

WinRAR can also be used to back-up your files or compress them and make an archive, thus reduces used memory space. In addition to that, you can set a password for your compressed files to prevent unauthorized use or access.
