FTP, which is an abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol, represents one of the most commonly used methods of transmitting website files between a computer system and a web server. With an FTP client program such as FileZilla, you can connect to your hosting account and drag ‘n’ drop files or whole folders in both directions and the software will take care of the rest. There are a number of pros of employing FTP, including the ability to resume a download/upload in case there is some problem with the connection or the possibility to use different FTP accounts. Thanks to the latter option, you can set up FTP users that can connect only to particular folders in your hosting account, but no other folders, e-mail accounts or other info, which makes it the best option when you need to provide a web designer with access, for instance. You can also use an FTP account with famous website building applications like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and upload the web content that you have created directly from them, without any third-party software.
