FTP Program After getting a website editor of your choice, be it Xsitepro or SiteBuiltIt or Kompozer, the next thing that come into the picture is an FTP program. This is important because after you have created your website, the next obvious thing to do is to put it up live on the internet. And the FTP program is the medium of transporting your website files from your personal computer to the host server. Both Xsitepro and Kompozer have their own built-in FTP feature that takes care of this. But and this is a BIG BUT, knowing how to make use of an FTP program to transfer files to your host server is crucial in your internet marketing business. While these built-in programs make it easier to transfer website files, you will also need to transfer other files e.g. your digital products, ebooks, videos, etc, to be accessed for downloading when your customers' purchase your products. This will require your understanding of how to access your host server, setting up connection, logging in, transferring files to your server and performing other tasks like changing file attributes, etc. All FTP programs work pretty much the same way. Filezilla is a popular FTP program that is free and I will make use of it to show you how an FTP program works. You can download Filezilla here. Setting Up Connection
