FTP is short for File Transfer Protocol – a quite popular method of exchanging website files between a PC and a server. Using an FTP software program such as FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can connect to the server and check its content in one pane, while the files on your PC will be displayed in another pane within the program window. All you will need 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 a lot of users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each one can be restricted to connect to just one single folder on the server, so a web designer, for example, can fulfill their task without accessing any other content in your web hosting account. Plus, the presence of different FTP accounts will also permit you to build numerous sites with web design tools such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their specific directories on the server.
