FTP Host

FTP is the acronym for file transfer protocol. This is a much better way to copy files from your computer to your web server. You will need a program called an FTP client like FileZilla to use FTP. What makes FTP particularly useful is that it gives the webmaster a way to give access to certain parts (i.e., directory) of the web server to other people without giving them the top-level password to the account itself. Often, copying files via FTP is also faster or more efficient because you can select multiple files and copy them in bulk. Most HTTP-based file copying is done one file at a time.
