Let’s see a proper definition: FTP (which stands for File Transfer Protocol) is a standard network protocol used for transferring files between two computers over a Wide Area Network (like the internet) or over a Local Area Network. While HTTP is used by all and sundry to access the internet, FTP is used to access and transfer files across two systems.

HTTP is the ‘means of transportation’ through which web pages, images, and other resources get to your screen from the web servers where they reside. These activities are possible only because of the HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) connection.

We check our emails, download files, update blogs, and access different websites on the internet every day.

While some of these tasks can be done through your dashboard, you need FTP for others.įTP stands for File Transfer Protocol and is a fast and effective way of managing your WordPress files. Downloading and installing plugins, updating them, troubleshooting errors, uploading files, and editing files are just a few. Running a WordPress site entails several processes.
