FTP, which is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol, represents one of the most commonly used means of uploading and downloading web files between a computer system and a web server. With an FTP client program such as FileZilla, you can make a connection to your web hosting account and drag & drop files or whole directories in both directions and the software will deal with the rest. There are a number of pros of employing File Transfer Protocol, including the ability to resume an upload/download in case there’s some problem with the connection and the ability to set up different FTP accounts. With the latter option, you can set up FTP users that can connect only to certain folders in your web hosting account, but no other folders, emails or other information, which makes it the ideal solution particularly if you have to give a web designer access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with popular website building apps like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and upload the Internet sites that you have created directly from them, without having to use 3rd-party software.
