I know you have heard the term but have no idea what it means. FTP what the heck is it. Well FTP is a acronym for "File Transfer Protocol". FTP is a process where your local host (your computer) can talk to the server holding your Domains (Your Hosting Account). The FTP program will allow you to copy files from you computer to the server where your domain is housed.

Using a FTP program is a relatively simple process. Like any other new adventure, individuals shy away from processes they know nothing about. And when you are talking about electronics and computers individuals shy away quicker than normal .

Using a FTP program is not difficult at all, and there are many FREE programs available to use. I use a program called FileZilla. It is a FREE FTP program you can download from the Internet. There is a link over on the right side of this page that will take you to their website if you wish to download it.

I also have developed another short video that explains the very basics in using the FileZilla FTP program. Just click on the play button to view it.

Please let me know if the video was a help to you buy leaving a comment or you can PM me in the forum.
