What is FTP?
FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol and refers to a means of transferring the files on one computer to another computer over the Internet. It is usually used to upload or download files from a server.
Why Do I Need FTP?
You need to use FTP to transfer the web pages that you create on your computer to our servers, unless you're using Microsoft FrontPage, Expression Web, or other web site design software which has built-in FTP functionality.
