What is FTP?

The File Transfer Protocol (File Transfer Protocol) or FTP, is a communication protocol dedicated to the exchange of computer files over a network.
It allows a computer to copy files to or from another computer on the network, run a website, or delete or modify files on the computer.  FTP follows a client-server model, that is to say one of the two parties, the client sends requests to which the other responds, called a server.

In practice, the server is a computer running software called FTP server, making public a tree of files similar to a Unix file system.

To access an FTP server, FTP client software like Filezilla, SmartFTP is used.


Login to your web server space with FTP client using the username and password for your FTP account.
