What is an FTP program?

An FTP program lets you easily move files over the internet. FTP stands for “File Transfer Protocol,” and FTP programs are user interfaces that allow you to send files using this protocol. An FTP program is very useful for moving files from your computer to your website. 

Some common FTP programs include Cute FTP, Smart FTP, WS_FTP, and FileZilla. Downloadable trial versions can be found at download.com.
