n order for your Web site to be visible to other people, you must transfer the files from your
local machine to your Web host’s servers. Although several different technologies are available to
transfer files, by far the most common is FTP (file transfer protocol). FTP has been used for many
years to allow for the transfer of files between computers and, in fact, predates the Web. You will
also need an FTP client — software on your computer that you can use to create and maintain the
FTP connection. Both Windows and Macintosh include a built-in command-line FTP.
