Who to connect in filezilla with provided ftp credentials ?

Hello,

From my client I received ftp account and sample listing, that credentials are valid:

ubuntu@ip-CLIENT_IP:~$ ftp CLIENT.REMOTE.SERVER
Connected to CLIENT.REMOTE.SERVER.
220 ProFTPD Server (ProFTPD) [CLIENT.SERVER.IP]
Name (CLIENT.REMOTE.SERVER:ubuntu): SERVERUSER
331 Password required for SERVERUSER
Password:
230 User SERVERUSER logged in
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp> ls
200 PORT command successful
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for file list
-rwxrwxrwx 1 SERVERUSER psacln 692 Mar 9 21:29 Dockerfile-composer
-rwxrwxrwx 1 SERVERUSER psacln 508 Mar 9 21:29 Dockerfile-nginx

I have not worked with ftp last several years and maybe I forgot something, but I opened filezilla and tried to connect with provided credentials and got error :

I got error :

Status:	Connecting to CLIENT.SERVER.IP:22...
Status:	Connection established, waiting for welcome message...
Response:	SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_7.6p1 Ubuntu-4ubuntu0.3
Error:	Cannot establish FTP connection to an SFTP server. Please select proper protocol.
Error:	Critical error: Could not connect to server

I entered parameters : https://prnt.sc/u005uz

Are some of them wrong ? Which valid?

Thanks!

Try the first configuration again (ftp) and change port to 21 (not 22)

Thanks! But are there something better of filezilla(for kubuntu 18). Last years I worked with git and now filezilla seems very slow...

program. And very inconvenient. A question at once : how to track modified files, what I did with

git status 

command?

Sorry but I don't see how git comes in here? But yes that shows changed files

I mean I need similar functionality like with git :

git status 

?

Well when you transfer the file, Filezilla will ask you if you want to overwrite and it will give a creation date and size for each file

Sorry, if my questions silly. I remember this feature, my questions is how to keep listing of files I modified : When working for a long time I do not want to keep listing of modified files what I can check in git with

git status 

command

Download file to a directory. git init. Then commit. Now you have version control
