FTP is short for File Transfer Protocol – a very popular method of uploading and downloading website files between a computer and a server. With an FTP program such as CuteFTP or FileZilla, you can establish 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 main program window. All you will have 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 preferred by a lot of users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each of them can be restricted to connect to just one single directory on the server, so a web designer, for instance, can do their task without accessing any other directory in your website hosting account. In addition, the availability of different FTP accounts will also permit you to create multiple websites using web design tools such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their specific directories on the server.
