FTP is an abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol – en extremely popular way to upload and download web files between a PC and a server. With an FTP program like FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can establish a connection to the server and view its content in one pane, while 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 mark them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. FTP is used by numerous users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each one can be restricted to connect to just one directory on the server, so a web designer, for instance, can fulfill their job without being able to see any other directory in your web hosting account. Plus, the presence of different FTP accounts will also permit you to create numerous sites using web design tools like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their corresponding directories on the server.
