FTP is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol – a pretty popular method of sending website files between a home PC and a server. Using an FTP software program like CuteFTP or FileZilla, you can connect to the server and see its content in one pane, whereas the files on your computer will be shown in another pane within the main program window. All you will have to do to send files or entire folders in either direction is to mark them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. FTP is preferred by numerous users because you can create different FTP accounts and each of them can be restricted to connect to just one folder on the server, so a web designer, for example, can fulfill their job without accessing any other directory in your hosting account. Plus, the availability of different FTP accounts will also enable you to create multiple sites with web design tools like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their corresponding directories on the server.
