File Transfer Protocol, or FTP, is one of the most famous means of transferring web files between a computer system and a server. With an FTP software program such as FileZilla, you can connect to your website hosting account and drag & drop files or whole folders in either direction and the software will take care of the rest. There’re a number of benefits of employing FTP, among them the option to restart a download/upload in case there is a problem with the connection and the ability to set up different FTP accounts. Thanks to the latter option, you can set up FTP users that can connect only to particular folders in your hosting account, but no other folders, emails or other information, which makes it the perfect solution if you have to give a web designer access, for example. You can also use an FTP account with famous website building apps such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and upload the Internet sites that you’ve created directly from them, without any 3rd-party software.
