FTP, which is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol, represents the most famous means for sending content to a hosting account. With an FTP app that is pre-installed on your desktop PC or laptop, you can connect to your web hosting server and copy all the files that you need with a couple of clicks. This is done using a simple-to-navigate GUI and it is as easy as dragging & dropping the aforementioned files. The advantage of using FTP is that you can set up several accounts, each one with a different level of access to your web space, so if you must provide somebody with access, for instance – a web designer, they’ll be able to connect only to one particular folder and won’t be able to see the rest of your content or any other info, including private details. You need three things in order to be able to establish an FTP connection – a hostname, which is normally an IP address or a domain name, a username and a password.
