FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol – a very popular method for uploading and downloading website files between a computer and a server. With an FTP client program such as CuteFTP or FileZilla, you can establish a connection to the server and see its content in one pane, while the files on your computer will be displayed in another pane within the main program window. All you will need to do to send files or whole folders in either direction is to mark them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. FTP is preferred by many users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each of them can be restricted to connect to just one single directory on the server, so a designer, for example, can complete their task without accessing any other folder in your web hosting account. Also, the availability of different FTP accounts will also permit you to build numerous websites using web design apps like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their specific directories on the server.
