FTP, which is an abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol, is one of the most commonly used means for uploading and downloading website files between a computer and a server. Using an FTP client such as FileZilla, you can establish a connection to your hosting account and drag & drop files or entire directories in either direction and the software itself will take care of all the rest. There’re a number of pros of employing File Transfer Protocol, including the ability to restart a download/upload in case there is some problem with the FTP connection or the possibility to create different FTP accounts. Thanks to the latter option, you can create FTP users that can access only certain folders in your web hosting account, but no other folders, email accounts or other information, which makes it the perfect option particularly in case you have to give a web designer access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with popular web design tools such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and upload the sites that you’ve created straight from them, without having to make use of any 3rd-party software.
