FTP is a standard network protocol used to exchange and manipulate files over the internet.
With most of the software packages on the market today, you simply drag the file located on your computer and drop it onto the server where you are hosting your website (see the article on Hosting Services).
The way we handle our web development process is we write our content on our computer (development area). Once we are pleased, we drag and drop it onto the internet server (production site). And, as a final security measure, we copy the files to our backup system as well.
In this way, we always have a "work in progress" on our computer and an exact copy of the production site on our external backup drive.
The FTP software that we use allows us to drag and drop the files at nearly the same time.
