FTP, or File Transfer Protocol, represents the most famous means for transferring website files to a hosting account. Using an FTP program that is pre-installed on your desktop or laptop computer, you can establish a connection to your website hosting server and copy all of the website files that you need with several mouse clicks. This is done via an easy-to-navigate graphical interface and it is as simple as dragging and dropping the abovementioned files. The advantage of using File Transfer Protocol is the fact that you are able to set up separate accounts, each with a different level of access to your web space, so if you’d like to provide a third party with access, for instance – a designer, they will be able to access only a specific directory and won’t be able to access the remaining web content or any other information, such as personal details. Three things are obligatory in order to be able to connect via FTP – a hostname, which is normally a domain or an IP, a user name and a password.
