The SSH File Transfer Protocol is a network protocol that provides file access, file transfer, and file management functionalities over SSH.
By using SFTP you can easily change, browse and edit files on your Raspberry Pi. SFTP is easier to setup than FTP as Raspbian has SSH enabled by default.

Launch FileZilla and go to File > Site manager

Fill in the IP address, user name and password (by default the user name is pi
and the password raspberry
) of your Raspberry Pi in the dialog and choose SFTP
as the protocol.

and you will see the home folder of the user.
