Today, we are going to discuss FTP, what is it actually? and, Why? 

Simply because FTP is a must-have tool for every webmaster because, using it, We can upload our website on the Internet for everyone to see.

But, before we start with today’s lesson, please keep the “welcome email” handy, with login details to your web hosting account. 

You must have received this email from the website where you got your web hosting plan. We will need those details to connect via FTP.

FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. 

FTP is what most webmasters use to upload their files, pages, and pictures to their web hosting space. There are many different FTP programs available, some free and some paid.


What is FTP?

Using FTP, you can also download files from your webhost to your computer. 

The FTP software we recommend to you is FileZilla. 

It is 100% free software and has all the necessary features of good FTP software.

Downloading Filezilla:
You can go here: https://filezilla-project.org/ and download the latest version of “FileZilla Client.”.

Installing FileZilla: 
Once you have downloaded FileZilla, you can install it by running the downloaded file. The rest of the steps will be self-explanatory. 

However, if you are in any trouble while installing it, you can go here for detailed help: https://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Client_Installation

Using FileZilla to upload files to the server
https://wiki.filezilla-project.org/FileZilla_Client_Tutorial_(en) –  On this link, you’ll learn how to use FileZilla to connect to your web hosting and upload files.


Note: Please look for the “public_html” or “www” directory to upload your files. 

For the test, try uploading any type of file there and then accessing it through your domain name from the web browser.

Once you get the hang of it, you’ll see that it is really easy to upload or download any files from your web hosting.

I understand there can be some trouble doing this.
