How To Make A Website | FTP Site To Web Server
What is FTP?
File Transfer Protocol, better known as FTP, is a procedure used to
upload and download files to and from your web server.
Most popular HTML editors e.g. MS FrontPage and Dreamweaver will allow you to
edit your WebPages and upload it to your web server. It is always good
to have a quality FTP installed on your pc. It will allow you to have
complete control over the files on your server.
Some website hosting companies have FTP software installed on their
server e.g. cPanel etc.
An FTP program will allow you to upload scripts, set file permissions, create
folders and transfer files to and from your server.
In order to use FTP, you'll need to download and install a FTP software program
on your computer. The most widely used and popular FTP programs are WS FTP Pro
and CuteFTP.
There are many other type of FTP software available on the market that are free as well as paid.
Web hosting companies and ftp
All website hosting companies should have ftp software installed on their servers for you to use to upload your website files to theis web hosting servers.
From personal experience I have worked with cPanel and Konsole web server panels which allows you to upload your website resources easily.
I particulary like cPanel, because it has got many cool features and tools that you can use to improve your website. FTP is built into cPanel or you can upload your files from 3rd party ftp programs, but then you will need ftp username and passwords complete the data upload.
