WHAT IS FTP?

FTP [ File Transfer Protocol ]

*a network protocol used to transfer data from one computer to another through the network such as Internet.

A FTP is a fast, convenient and secure way to transfer files over the Internet.

To make an FTP connection you can use a standard Web browser* (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, etc.) or a dedicated FTP software program, referred to as an 'FTP Client'. To use an FTP client you need to have an FTP account to the web account where you plan to upload your files. In case this is your hosting account, the main account for using FTP is your control panel account. You can also create additional FTP accounts for other users.
