What is FTP? You might be wondering.

An FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is an online program that will allow you to easily connect to your web host (like on Hostgator) and transfer files from your local or personal computer to the server that hosts your website files.  Most people will transfer files from their computers to the websites using this method.

As well as transferring files from your local PC to a server,
an FTP program can also allow you to move, rename and delete
files remotely on your web host’s server.  You would simply connect to your website using FTP and click on any folder or file to delete, rename or do other things you want to do.  These are usually files that you already initially uploaded.

One of the most popular downloadable FTP programs out there
is FileZilla.  Its well known for its simplicity, features
and reliability.  And its free! Another popular free ftp is called CoffeeCup.

But if you’re looking for something a bit more light weight,
there’s also a Firefox add-on called ‘FireFTP’ which you can
use within your Firefox browser.

FireFTP is very simple to use, has great features and works
well.  The only downfall is it usually takes longer than
FileZilla when transferring larger files.

Here are some things you need to know when setting up a
connection via your FTP program:

Web Host: You will be asked for this when setting up a
connection, this in most cases will be your domain name e.g
www.example.com.

Login: This will be the login name you use to login to your web
host in most cases (userid)

Password: This will be the password that you use to log into
your web host.

If these credentials don’t work, then login to your web host
and look for a section called ‘FTP’…from there you’ll be
able to create new FTP accounts which you can use.

Don’t let technology keep you from getting started in your own internet business, especially when they make it easy like this.

  5. Hey! I could have sworn I’ve been to this site before but after reading through some of the post I realized it’s
    new to me. Anyhow, I’m definitely glad I found it and I’ll be book-marking
    and checking back often!

  10. Hi my loved one! I want to say that this article is amazing, nice written and include
    approximately all significant infos. I would like to peer more posts like this
    .

  12. Sweet blog! I found it while surfing around on Yahoo News.

    Do you have any tips on how to get listed in Yahoo News?

    I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there!
    Thanks

  19. Howdy! This post couldn’t be written any better! Reading through this post reminds
    me of my previous room mate! He always kept talking about this.

    I will forward this post to him. Fairly certain he will have a good read.
    Many thanks for sharing!

  20. Wonderful goods from you, man. I have take into accout
    your stuff prior to and you’re simply extremely fantastic.
    I really like what you’ve received right here,
    certainly like what you’re saying and the way in which during which you say it.
    You’re making it entertaining and you continue to care for to
    stay it smart. I can’t wait to read much more from you.
    This is really a wonderful web site.

  25. At this time it seems like BlogEngine is the best blogging
    platform available right now. (from what I’ve read) Is
    that what you are using on your blog?

  28. Hi would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re working with?
    I’m going to start my own blog soon but I’m having a
    difficult time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and
    Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m
    looking for something unique. P.S Sorry for
    getting off-topic but I had to ask!

  45. It is also being reported that Google has recently received several copyright complaints against Hentai Haven. Google has also excluded HH from
    its index. For example, Tumblr banned adult content, while Sony and Google are
    forcing censorship on “fanservice,” which is adult-oriented material.
    Dokyuu Hentai HxEros is an oddity because of the aforementioned odd censorship and just for the fun of it, let’s compare
    the anime adaptation to the original source manga series to see what alterations
    were made due to the limitation of a 12-episode anime format and whether the manga can shed light on the anime’s weird censorship.
    Yeah, the reaction is mixed here as well, especially how
    they handle the censorship in the TV broadcast version, and how the story revolves around using kinkiness to beat alien invaders is very silly-why can’t they
    just go for foursomes (or fivesome if you include the dog Rumba)
    every night to replenish their power?

  46. I’ll immediately snatch your rss as I can not in finding your email subscription link or
    e-newsletter service. Do you have any? Kindly let me recognise so that I could subscribe.
    Thanks.
