What is FTP?
February 27th, 2009 | by Web Hosting |What is FTP?
FTP which stands for File Transfer Protocol and is most commonly a method of transferring files over the internet. Believe it or not you’re most likely using FTP without realising it.
FTP is most commonly used to download files from the internet, and is the back bone of music or gaming sites. But it is the ability to transfer files over the internet that we will focus on as it is essential for anyone creating a web page be they amateurs or professionals.
So, let us assume you have finished developing your new site, have added a domain through Plesk and now wish to publish it on a server so that it is accessible to anyone who wishes to view it on the world wide web.
If you are using Plesk you can use your Plesk control panel’s File Manager to upload and download files, or you may wish use an FTP client — a software designed to transfer files between two computer devices across the internet.
