What is FTP?
FTP is the acronym for File Transfer Protocol.
FTP

from one computer to another. Our webmasters commonly use FTP to connect
their home or work PC to our web server to upload website files and
folders for use on their website.
What FTP Software should I use? Does it cost anything?

and cost) will determine what FTP software you settle on.
