FTP is short for File Transfer Protocol – en extremely popular way to transfer web files between a PC and a web server. With an FTP client program like FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can make a connection to the server and check its content in one pane, whereas the files on your computer will be displayed in another pane within the program window. All you will need to do to send files or whole directories in either direction is to select them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. FTP is preferred by numerous users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each of them can be limited to connect to just one single folder on the server, so a web designer, for instance, can do their job without being able to access any other folder in the website hosting account. Also, the availability of different FTP accounts will also enable you to build numerous Internet sites using web design tools like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their corresponding folders on the server.
