Internet Marketing For Beginners – What Is FTP and How Do I Do It?

January 21, 2011 By: Yvonne A Jones Category: online business

When I first came online in 2008 there were so many things I did not understand and there was no one in my circle offline I could ask.   I remember in the very first class I took online the instructor told us we could copy his example and use his page on our own websites.  That was wonderful!  But how could I get the information from his computer to show up on my website?  This is done by a process called File Transfer Protocol (FTP), but I did not know the name, what it is, or how to do it.

I was so frustrated because in response to my question, I was told just to go ahead and “copy and upload it.”  Upload it? How?

If you are new to internet marketing or recently started a business online, do not be intimidated by the process. It really is pretty easy when you know how to use File Transfer Protocol (FTP) to transfer files from your computer to your websites.  I've found that Chris Farrell explains how to do this very clearly in this video.  Enjoy and please feel free to leave a comment below.
