FTP is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol – a very popular method of transmitting web files between a PC and a server. With an FTP client program like CuteFTP or FileZilla, you can connect to the server and check its content in one pane, while the files on your computer will be shown in another pane within the main program window. All you’ll have to do to send files or whole folders in either direction is to mark them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. FTP is used by lots of users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each one can be limited to access just one single folder on the server, so a designer, for instance, can carry out their task without being able to view any other directory in the website hosting account. Furthermore, the availability of different FTP accounts will also permit you to create numerous websites with web design apps like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their corresponding folders on the server.
