If You Retrieved Your sitemanager.xml: If you went into a backup file and grabbed your old sitemanager.xml here is how to load it into FileZilla.

Places > Home Folder >

View > Show Hidden Files > .Filezilla

Rename sitemanager.xml to sitemanager.xml_old in case you have to go back.
Basically you have to replace the sitemanager.xml with your one from back up.

This means you just have to copy your sitemanager.xml and paste it into the .Filezilla directory.

Start FileZilla and you should be up and going again.
