FTP is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol – a rather popular way to transfer web files between a computer and a web server. With an FTP program like FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can establish a connection to the server and see its content in one pane, whereas the files on your PC will be displayed in another pane within the program window. All you will have to do to send files or whole folders in either direction is to select them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. FTP is preferred by lots of users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each one can be limited to connect to just one folder on the server, so a designer, for instance, can do their task without being able to view any other content in your hosting account. In addition, the availability of different FTP accounts will also enable you to build numerous websites with web design apps such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their specific directories on the server.
