FTP (short for File Transfer Protocol), is the most popular means of transferring website files to a hosting account. Using an FTP client application that is pre-installed on your desktop or laptop computer, you can make a connection to your website hosting server and copy all of the website files that you need with a few clicks. You can do this using a user-friendly GUI and it is as easy as dragging and dropping the aforementioned files. The advantage of using File Transfer Protocol is that you are able to set up separate accounts, each one with a different level of access to your online storage space, so if you wish to grant somebody access, for instance – a designer, they will be able to connect only to a specific directory and will not be able to view the remaining web content or any other information, such as personal details. Three things are needed in order to be able to connect via FTP – a hostname, which is usually a domain name or an IP, a user name and a password.
