An FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is used to put files from your computer to a server on the web (upload) or get files from |
| |
your server to your computer (download) . |
| |
| |
First thing to do is, choose and download an FTP application. For the example, Cyberduck is freeware (donationware) |
| |
FTP application. It is pretty good and easy to use. |
| |
|
|
Step 1.
Launch the application and configure it to access the server and retrieve/send data. Click on open connection. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
| |
You will get a dialog window like this one. |

| |
Username: Your hosting account username. |
| |
Password: Your hosting account password. |

| |
location on your server to connect to it. |

To upload a file go to the File menu and choose Upload, choose the files to be uploaded or drag and drop them from the |
