11,692 PointsDownloading CSS files of WordPress themes via FileZilla
I'm trying to create a child theme. I've been following Zac's video. However, instead of using the project files, I decided to try to do this with my already existing WordPress site.
When I used FileZilla, I went to the themes folder within the wp-content folder. I saw three different CSS files. They were named as follows: editor-styles.css, ie.css, and ie7.css. I've tried downloading them all at once and individually to my designated child theme folder on my computer, but I have had no success. I get the following error when I tried to download a CSS file from my remote site to my local site:
"Status: Starting download of /public_html/wp-content/themes/twentyfifteen/css/editor-style.css Error: Failed to open "C:\Program Files (x86)\WordPress\wordpress\wp-content\themes\twentyfifteenchild\editor-style.css" for writing Error: File transfer failed Status: Disconnected from server"
Someone help please. If I want to download my editor-styles.css file from my WordPress website, for example, then how do I do that?
Thanks.

11,692 PointsI found an alternative to my issue. I opened the CSS files on my remote site in Sublime Text and now I'm just going to make a copy of it and save it into my designated child theme folder. If anyone has any other solutions, I'd be interested in hearing though.
