File Transfer Protocol (FTP), represents the most popular way to upload web content to a web hosting account. Using an FTP client that’s installed on your desktop or laptop computer, you can make a connection to your web hosting server and copy all the website files that you need with a few mouse clicks. You can do this via a simple-to-navigate GUI and it is as simple as dragging ‘n’ dropping the abovementioned files. The advantage of using FTP is that you’ll be able to set up several accounts, each one with a different level of access to your online storage space, so if you would like to give someone access, for instance – a designer, they will be able to access only a specific folder and will not be able to view the rest of your web content or any other info, such as private details. Three prerequisites are necessary in order to be able to set up an FTP connection – a hostname, which is normally an IP or a domain name, a username and a password.
