FTP - File Transmission Protocol

When Do I need a separate program for FTP?
If you are not an expert in FTP commands or your Web authoring software doesn't have a built-in FTP or if you're administering a complex site with CGI programming or if you need to administer file permissions remotely. Very large, complex sites may require commercial FTP packages; otherwise, evaluate the freeware and shareware programs available for download.

Tips:
We recommend Filezila, because it is free, open source and easy to use. Read our blog for free FTP client software.
