What is FTP
FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol, and is used to transfer files over a TCP/IP network (Internet, UNIX, etc.). For example, after developing the HTML pages for a website on a local machine, they are typically uploaded to the Web server using FTP. FTP includes functions to log onto the network, list directories, and copy files. FTP operations can be performed by typing commands at a command prompt or via an FTP client running under a graphical interface such as Windows.
NOTE There are many different FTP programs available, and their interfaces will be different from each other. However the information to connect via FTP will be the same for all platforms. For the purpose of this guide, we will cover FTP through Filezilla. We highly recommend using an FTP client, such as Filezilla.
