FTP (File Transfer Protocol), is among the most widespread means of transmitting website files between a PC and a web server. Using FTP client software like FileZilla, you can set up a connection to your web hosting account and drag & drop files or entire directories in both directions and the software itself will cope with the rest. There’re a number of advantages of employing File Transfer Protocol, among them the ability to restart an upload/download if there’s some problem with the FTP connection or the possibility to use different FTP accounts. With the latter option, you can create FTP users that can access only specific folders in your hosting account, but no other folders, email accounts or any other info, which makes it the ideal solution particularly when you need to give a web designer access, for instance. You can also use an FTP account with famous apps like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and upload the sites that you’ve created straight from them, without the need to use any 3rd-party software.
