FTP is an abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol – a very popular method for sending website files between a home PC and a web server. Using an FTP program like FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can set up a connection to the server and see its content in one pane, while the files on your PC will be shown in another pane within the program window. All you’ll have to do to send files or entire directories in either direction is to mark them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. File Transfer Protocol is used by lots of users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each one can be limited to access just one directory on the server, so a designer, for example, can do their job without accessing any other content in the hosting account. What’s more, the presence of different FTP accounts will also allow you to build numerous websites using web design tools such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their specific directories on the server.
