Generate settings

1. Click Config generators at the top right corner.
2. Under the FileZilla section, choose Generate Config.
3. Select Save file, remember where the config file is downloaded, and press OK.

1. Open FileZilla on your machine, click File at the top left and choose Import.

1. Navigate to the folder where you saved the XML file and click Open.

1. A pop-up will ask you which settings you'd like to import.

Improving transfer speed

By default, FileZilla uses a single connection per file. To improve speeds — especially for large files over long distances — increase the number of simultaneous transfers:

• Go to Edit → Settings → Transfers
• Set Maximum simultaneous transfers to 10 or more

See the FTP Guide for a full explanation of why multiple connections improve speed.

⚠️ Note: The screenshots above may be outdated as the Bytesized dashboard UI has evolved, but the overall process remains the same.

Tip: The Config generators tab also provides ready-to-use configs for OpenVPN and Viscosity — handy if you want to tunnel your traffic through your seedbox. See the OpenVPN page for more details.
