What is FTP? FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol, a standard protocol used for transferring files between a local computer and a server on the internet. FTP is an essential solution for managing website files, allowing both uploading and downloading in a fast and efficient manner.
An FTP client is software that facilitates the connection between the local device and the hosting server. It allows you to manage the site files, including creating, deleting, modifying, and organizing them into directories.
