FTP Accounts
What's FTP? What?s an FTP account? When do you need to have one?
FTP, or File Transfer Protocol, is among the most widely used means of exchanging files between a computer system and a web server. With an FTP client such as FileZilla, you can connect to your hosting account and drag ‘n’ drop files or whole directories in either direction and the software will take care of all the rest. There are several pros of employing File Transfer Protocol, among them the option to resume a download/upload in case there is some problem with the FTP connection and the ability to create different FTP accounts. Thanks to the latter option, you can set up FTP users that can access only specific folders in your hosting account, but no other folders, email accounts or any other information, which makes it the perfect option especially if you need to grant a web designer access, for instance. You can also use an FTP account with famous web design apps such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage and upload the web content that you have created straight from them, without having to use any third-party software.
