FTP is an abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol – a rather popular method of transferring files between a PC and a server. Using an FTP software program such as FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can establish a connection to the server and see its content in one pane, whereas the files on your PC will be shown in another pane within the main program window. All you need to do to send files or whole folders in either direction is to select them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. File Transfer Protocol is used by lots of users because you can create different FTP accounts and each one can be limited to connect to just one single directory on the server, so a web designer, for example, can complete their job without being able to view any other folder in your website hosting account. Also, the availability of different FTP accounts will also enable you to create multiple sites with web design apps like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their respective directories on the server.
