FileZilla Forums

Forgive me, I’m new to the FileZilla but learning it quickly.
My question is how do I make a Mock-up Site of my current website for editing and testing so I can see the end results without marking changes to my live site until I am ready to apply it to the live site?

You could use a local copy of the site for testing. Alternatively, you can upload a duplicate of your site to the server, into a subdirectory.

Example:

Normal site at https://example.org/
Test copy at https://example.org/testing/

Note: If your site uses special features (like certain PHP software), the paths will have to be configured accordingly. Also, if your site uses a database (MariaDB, MySQL etc.), you have to create a duplicate, too (clone the database or the database tables).
