FTP is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol – en extremely popular method of transmitting web files between a home PC and a web server. Using an FTP software program like CuteFTP or FileZilla, you can make a connection to the server and see its content in one pane, while the files on your PC 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 many users because you can create different FTP accounts and each one can be limited to connect to just one folder on the server, so a web designer, for example, can do their job without being able to view any other directory in your web hosting account. In addition, the availability of different FTP accounts will also allow you to create multiple Internet sites using web design tools like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their corresponding folders on the server.
