File Transfer Protocol (FTP), is one of the most widespread methods of transmitting website files between a computer and a server. With an FTP software program like FileZilla, you can make a connection to your hosting account and drag & drop files or entire folders in both directions and the software will handle all the rest. There’re several pros of employing FTP, among them the ability to resume a download/upload when there’s a problem with the connection or the option to have different FTP accounts. Thanks to the latter option, you can create FTP users that can access only particular folders in your hosting account, but no other folders, emails or other info, which makes it the very best solution if you have to provide a web designer with access, for instance. You can also use an FTP account with popular apps such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver and upload the web content that you have created directly from them, without the need to make use of third-party software.
