FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol – en extremely popular way to transmit files between a computer and a web server. With an FTP software program like FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can make a connection to the server and view its content in one pane, whereas 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 entire folders in either direction is to select them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. File Transfer Protocol is preferred by plenty of users because you can create different FTP accounts and each of them can be restricted to access just one single folder on the server, so a designer, for instance, can complete their job without being able to view any other content in your website hosting account. Also, the availability of different FTP accounts will also allow you to create multiple websites using web design tools such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their respective folders on the server.
