What does FTP stands for?

FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. As the name states, FTP is used to transfer files between your computer and your website hosting account using the internet.  Don’t let the technical issues or language scared you, since using FTP is very simple.

How to use FTP?

There are a few ways to use it, however, I prefer to use free software.  I personally used Filezilla since it is free and very simple to use. There are quite a few available.  You can find more by doing a google search.

Regardless of what FTP software you use, there are a few things you need to know:

Your host: Usually yourdomain.com without the www or could be ftp.yourdomain.tld Contant your host for more information on this if you are unsure.  This is very common and you may be able to find the answer under FAQ in your host website.

Your Username: Refer to your host activation email for this information

Your Password:Refer to your host activation email for this information

Now, let’s watch the video.  I speak with an accent so I have made this video accent proof with text as I go along.
