What is FTP, and how do I use it?

What is a FTP?

FTP is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol. As the name suggests, FTP is used to transfer files between computers on a network. You can use FTP to exchange files between computer accounts, transfer files between an account and a desktop computer, or access online software archives. Keep in mind, however, that many FTP sites are heavily used and require several attempts before connecting.

 

How do I use it?

You can use free FTP clients such as FileZilla, SmartFTP, and CoreFTP.

You will need credentials for your FTP client similar to the ones below:

FTP Username: [email protected]
FTP Server: ftp.yourdomain.com
FTP Server Port: 21
SFTP Server Port: 22

 

You can also use your File Manager on your cPanel to transfer, rename, and delete files.
