FTP is short for File Transfer Protocol – en extremely popular method for exchanging files between a home computer and a server. Using an FTP software program like CuteFTP or FileZilla, you can make a connection to the server and view its content in one pane, while the files on your computer will be shown in another pane within the program window. All it takes to send files or entire folders 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 one can be restricted to connect to just one folder on the server, so a web designer, for example, can fulfill their job without being able to access any other content in the hosting account. Furthermore, the availability of different FTP accounts will also allow you to build multiple Internet sites with web design applications like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their specific folders on the server.
