FTP (short for File Transfer Protocol), is the most famous means of uploading website content to a hosting account. With an FTP software app that’s installed on your desktop PC or laptop, you can establish a connection to your website hosting server and copy all the web files that you want with a couple of clicks of the mouse. You can do this via an easy-to-work-with interface and it is as easy as dragging & dropping the aforementioned files. The advantage of using File Transfer Protocol is that you’ll be able to create separate FTP accounts, each one with a different level of access to your server space, so if you must give somebody access, for instance – a designer, they’ll be able to connect only to one specific directory and will not be able to view the rest of your web content or any other information, including personal details. You need three prerequisites to be able to establish an FTP connection – a hostname, which is usually a domain name or an IP address, a user name and a password.
