FTP is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol – en extremely popular way to send files between a home PC and a server. With an FTP program like 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 it takes to send files or whole directories in either direction is to select them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. File Transfer Protocol is preferred by many users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each of them can be limited to connect to just one directory on the server, so a designer, for example, can do their task without being able to view any other content in the web hosting account. Furthermore, the availability of different FTP accounts will also enable you to create numerous sites with web design apps like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their specific folders on the server.
