Finding and Using Free and Easy FTP Programs. Transferring files from point A to point B
Now that your local computer is connected to your Web server, transferring
files between the two couldn’t be easier. Within the FTP client software, you
can browse the directories and folders on your local computer on the left
side and browse the directories and folders on your Web server on the right
side.
FTP clients make it easy to transfer files from your computer to your hosting
account by using a drag-and-drop method. Two methods of transferring
files are
✦ Uploading: Generally, transferring files from your local computer to
your Web server. To upload a file from your computer to your Web
server, click the file you want to transfer from your local computer and drag and drop it onto the right side (the Web server side).
✦ Downloading: Transferring files from your Web server to your local
computer. To download a file from your Web server to your local computer, click the file you want to transfer from your Web server and drag and drop it onto to the left side (the local computer side).
Downloading files from your Web server is a very efficient, easy, and smart way of backing up files to your local computer. It’s always a good idea to keep your files safe, especially things like theme files and plugins
