What Is FTP?

There are several ways depending on your computer system, that you can transfer files to your account directory. The process by which files are transferred to the Web server is called "FTP" (File Transfer Protocol). You have access via FTP 24 hours a day, seven days a week. As such, you can create and maintain your Web pages on your own computer and upload files to your Web site at your leisure. To upload your files to your account, you need an FTP client/program.

There are many programs to chose from but we highly recommend SmartFTP. They offer a superior product that is free to Download.  Click here for free online Flash tutorials.
