File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is the main means by which files are transferred from server to server or from your computer to your website and vice-versa. Unlike what many people think, it is not a tedious process. There are numerous FTP programs on the internet that are user friendly and often come with help files so as to make it easier for you to perform the transfers. FTP clients have been modified over the years to perform various operations on a websites’ directories and files without the user having to physically log into the back office (control panel) of the site. Some of these operations include making files and directories readable from the web, allow read/write access, prevent read/write access, make them writable only by the owner but readable by users online, and much more.
