FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is commonly used for transferring files over the internet or local networks. It facilitates fast, efficient, and secure file upload and download operations. These tasks are typically performed through web hosting panels or client programs. For example, FileZilla is a popular client program for FTP file transfer. It features a user-friendly interface and allows easy usage with drag-and-drop functionality. You can follow the steps below to upload files using FileZilla.
