FTP, which is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol, represents the most famous means for uploading files to a hosting account. Using an FTP client application that is pre-installed on your desktop or laptop PC, you can establish a connection to your website hosting server and copy all the website files that you need with a few clicks. You can do this using an intuitive GUI and it is as simple as dragging & dropping the aforementioned files. The advantage of using File Transfer Protocol is the fact that you can create separate FTP accounts, each with a different level of access to your server space, so if you need to give someone access, for instance – a designer, they’ll be able to connect only to a specific directory and won’t be able to view the rest of your content or any other information, including personal details. Three prerequisites are required to be able to set up an FTP connection – a hostname, which is normally an IP or a domain name, a username and a password.
