Content using FTP
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a standardized
method of transferring files between computers,
regardless of the platform or operating system
the computers are running. FTP is a protocol
or method of transferring files. There are
many FTP client programs that make FTP very
easy to use.
The FTP client is a program
that runs on your local computer and interacts
with your Web server’s FTP service.
Most FTP programs have a graphical interface
that make it easy to transfer and manipulate
files. If you don’t have an FTP client,
you can download one from the Internet for
free. The following list of FTP clients
is just a sample of those available for
download from the Internet (either evaluation
copy or full release):
Microsoft Internet Explorer
CuteFTP
SmartFTP
WS_FTP
FTP Voyager
Crystal FTP 2000
For instructions on installing
and configuring these clients, please refer
to the documentation that accompanies the
product. There are two types of FTP access
available to a Web site.
Administrative FTP

Note: Anonymous FTP
is not a recommended procedure
Because you can upload,
download, overwrite, and delete files using
FTP; it is good practice to backup your
site before making any significant changes!
