Uploading Your Website with FTP

Here's a nice overview of file transfer software from Ben over at Advanced Wordpress Tutorials:

Once you've created your website, you're going to need to upload it to your web server. The easiest and fastest way of doing this is using FTP.

Here's what Ben had to say about my FTP program of choice: "WS FTP (www.wsftp.com) is another old, established FTP program, but recently became a lot easier to use than it used to be. Some useful features include its various wizards and tutorials for doing common things, editing files on the server using any software you like (a rare feature) and sorting options that let you find files quickly. It also has special features to help you out with blogging and digital photography."

I agree with Ben that the user interface of WS_FTP Professional was greatly improved with the last product release. And I also agree that the capability to edit files on the server is super handy and has saved me quite a bit of time. Love the integrated Google desktop search to help me quickly find files on my computer.... And the thumbnails makes finding the right photo that much easier.

In addition, I've found WS_FTP Pro to be much faster at uploading and downloading files than some other programs I've tried.... And the security capabilities are far greater than any other product as well.
