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.\u00a0 Most people will transfer files from their computers to the websites using this method.<\/p>\n

As well as transferring files from your local PC to a server,
\nan FTP program can also allow you to move, rename and delete
\nfiles remotely on your web host’s server.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 These are usually files that you already initially uploaded.<\/p>\n

One of the most popular downloadable FTP programs out there
\nis FileZilla.\u00a0 Its well known for its simplicity, features
\nand reliability.\u00a0 And its free! Another popular free ftp is called CoffeeCup.<\/p>\n

But if you’re looking for something a bit more light weight,
\nthere’s also a Firefox add-on called ‘FireFTP’ which you can
\nuse within your Firefox browser.<\/p>\n

FireFTP is very simple to use, has great features and works
\nwell.\u00a0 The only downfall is it usually takes longer than
\nFileZilla when transferring larger files.<\/p>\n

Here are some things you need to know when setting up a
\nconnection via your FTP program:<\/p>\n

Web Host: You will be asked for this when setting up a
\nconnection, this in most cases will be your domain name e.g
\nwww.example.com.<\/p>\n

Login: This will be the login name you use to login to your web
\nhost in most cases (userid)<\/p>\n

Password: This will be the password that you use to log into
\nyour web host.<\/p>\n

If these credentials don’t work, then login to your web host
\nand look for a section called ‘FTP’…from there you’ll be
\nable to create new FTP accounts which you can use.<\/p>\n

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