FTP Accounts
What's FTP? What?s an FTP account? When will you be needing one?
FTP is an abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol – en extremely popular method of transmitting website files between a home PC and a server. Using an FTP client program such as CuteFTP or FileZilla, you can establish a connection to the server and see its content in one pane, while the files on your computer will be shown in another pane within the program window. All you’ll 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 used by lots of users because you can set up different FTP accounts and each of them can be restricted to connect to just one folder on the server, so a designer, for example, can carry out their task without accessing any other content in the web hosting account. What’s more, the availability of different FTP accounts will also permit you to create multiple sites using web design tools like FrontPage or Dreamweaver and to upload them to their specific folders on the server.
