What is File Transfer Protocol (FTP)?
FTP, which stands for File Transfer Protocol, is a standardized network method used specifically to facilitate the transfer of files between a local computer and a remote web server.
This file transfer process is typically carried out using a dedicated software application known as an **FTP Client**. The client software connects to the FTP server hosted on your web account, allowing you to either upload new files to the server (for example, uploading website data) or download existing files from the server (for example, backing up data).
FTP is essential for managing website content and is one of the primary methods used to upload files to your cPanel hosting account.
