FTP Accounts
Learn about FTP accounts and about FTP in general - exactly what they are and when you will require them.
FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol – en extremely popular method for transferring files between a computer and a server. Using an FTP client program like FileZilla or CuteFTP, you can set up 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 directories in either direction is to mark them and then to drag them from one pane to the other. File Transfer Protocol is preferred by lots of users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each one can be restricted to access just one single directory on the server, so a designer, for instance, can carry out their task without being able to see any other content in the hosting account. What’s more, the availability of different FTP accounts will also permit you to build numerous websites using web design tools such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and to upload them to their corresponding directories on the server.
