FTP / Uploading Files

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is the protocol (method) used to upload files. While some web hosts offer the ability to upload files through a **control panel**, most file uploading is done using an FTP client. Such a client connects to your web host, establishes a connection, and allows you to upload whatever files you wish (provided you do not exceed the disk space allocated to you).

Popular FTP clients include WS_FTP, CuteFTP, and Bulletproof FTP.
