FTP denotes File Transfer Protocol – a rather popular method of transferring web files between a computer system and a server. With an FTP client program such as FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can establish a connection to the server and check its content in one pane, whereas the files on your computer will be shown in another pane within the program window. All you will have to do to send files or entire directories 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 set up different FTP accounts and each of them can be restricted to connect to just one single folder on the server, so a designer, for instance, can complete their task without being able to see any other folder in your website hosting account. Furthermore, the availability of different FTP accounts will also enable you to create multiple sites using web design tools like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their respective directories on the server.
