FTP

With many projects we develop we give our clients access to FTP. Sites such as Record Scout mean the members can upload their audio files to our servers.

When we develop a website for a client using FTP they can change and upload files that their visitors can later download.

FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol.

A standard method for sending files from one computer to another on TCP/IP networks such as the Internet. FTP is also the name of the command used to initiate transfer of files.

The website we develop will mean your FTP access is ftp.yourdomain.yourextension
Username will be the URL and password as given.

The website will live in a folder called ‘htdocs’

If you visit the web servers FTP via Internet Explorer or similar then you can just copy and files from your computer to the server and visa versa as long as you have the permissions to do this.

If you can not use your website browser then there are many software packages that you can use instead. A free one we like to recommend is found online at ftpx.com
