So what does FTP mean anyways?

FTP = File Transfer Protocol. Or in other words, a program that allows you to transfer files back and forth on a server. It also will allow you to create new directories and delete old files you are not using anymore.

If  you have ever wondered how you can upload multiple images to a Joomla! website, this is the way to go. For those of you who have a backup solution installed, such as Akeeba Backup, you will need to use FTP to download a backup copy.

For this tutorial, we are going to use the Open Source FTP Solution- Filezilla. If you do not already have a FTP solution, or would like to get a new one, go here:
