FTP, which stands for File Transfer Protocol, is one of the most widely used methods of uploading and downloading web files between a computer system and a web server. Using an FTP program such as FileZilla, you can make a connection to your hosting account and drag ‘n’ drop files or whole directories in either direction and the software will do the rest. There’re several benefits of using File Transfer Protocol, including the option to restart an upload/download when there is some problem with the FTP connection or the ability to set up different FTP accounts. Thanks to the latter option, you can create FTP users that can access only particular folders in your web hosting account, but no other folders, email accounts or any other info, which makes it the best option especially if you have to provide a web designer with access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with famous apps such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and upload the website content that you’ve created directly from them, without having to resort to 3rd-party software.
