FTP is the short form for File Transfer Protocol. It is the most popular method used by those who need to move files from their personal computer to a web server for display on a website.

To transfer a file using FTP, you need an FTP client/software. There are several free and commercial software tools available to use. One recommended free tool is called Filezilla. It can be obtained from http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/

If you are FrontPage user, you do not need software to publish your files onto your website.
