将filezilla连接到MySQL服务器

Question

So I am trying to use Joomla! to design a website and I've been following the instructions. One of the requirements is to move the downloaded Joomla! package to the server (MySQL). They recommended Filezilla for the transfer but everytime I try to connect, I keep getting the errors below. I'm pretty sure the details I entered are correct for host, username, password and port number because it looks like it is about to connect and then I lose it. Anyone had this problem or know how to resolve it? Thanks. P.s I'm pretty new to web development.

      Status:   Connecting to [fe80::932:330c:e414:5c42%13]:3306...
      Status:   Connection established, waiting for welcome message...
      Response: D
      Error:    Could not connect to server
      Status:   Waiting to retry...
      Status:   Resolving address of Ikemesit-HP

      Response: D
      Error:    Connection closed by server

You may want to check the instructions again, that doesn't sound right. You wouldn't use Filezilla to transfer files to a mySQL database as the two don't really work together. Filezilla is for moving files to/from a file server but database servers don't really work this way.

Once you have the Joomla files on your file server, you would just visit the URL for the website and enter the database credentials there. Not try to connect via FTP.
