FTP is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol – a rather popular method for sending website files between a computer and a server. With an FTP program such as FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can make a connection to the server and check its content in one pane, whereas the files on your PC will be displayed in another pane within the program window. All you will have to do to send files or whole directories in either direction is to mark them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. File Transfer Protocol is used by numerous users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each of them can be restricted to connect to just one directory on the server, so a web designer, for example, can do their job without being able to see any other directory in the website hosting account. Plus, the presence of different FTP accounts will also enable you to create multiple Internet sites using web design tools such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their respective directories on the server.
