FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol – en extremely popular method for sending website files between a home PC and a web server. With an FTP program like FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can set up a connection to the server and check its content in one pane, while the files on your computer will be displayed in another pane within the program window. All you need to do to send files or whole directories in either direction is to mark them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. FTP is used by many 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 web designer, for instance, can complete their task without being able to access any other directory in the website hosting account. Furthermore, the availability of different FTP accounts will also enable you to build multiple Internet sites using web design applications like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their specific directories on the server.
