FTP, which is short for File Transfer Protocol, is the most popular means of transmitting web files to a hosting account. With an FTP software program that is installed on your desktop PC or laptop, you can make a connection to your website hosting server and copy all the web files that you want with a few clicks of the mouse. This is done via an easy-to-navigate interface and it is as simple as dragging and dropping the aforementioned files. The advantage of using FTP is the fact that you’re able to create different accounts, each with a different level of access to your online storage space, so if you need to grant someone access, for example – a web designer, they’ll be able to connect only to one particular directory and will not be able to see the remaining web content or any other info, including personal details. You need three prerequisites in order to be able to establish an FTP connection – a hostname, which is normally an IP or a domain, a username and a password.
