What is FTP software?

A File Transfer Protocol (FTP) program allows you to transfer files between computers, regardless of operating system. In web development, these programs are usually used to transfer website files to your Hosting provider. If the HTML editor you choose does not have FTP functionality, you'll need this type of program to upload your files to your website when they are ready to publish.
