FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is the simplest and most secure way to exchange files over the Internet. Whether you know it or not, you most likely use FTP all the time. The most common use for FTP is to download files from the Internet. When downloading a file from the Internet you're actually transferring the file to your computer from another computer over the Internet. This is why the T (transfer) is in FTP. You may not know where the computer is that the file is coming from but you most likely know it's URL or Internet address. Here at Uncommon Host, we manage our very own FTP server. Which means, you can upload files the same way as you download them. Upload is basically the exact opposite from downloading a file, such that rather than transferring a file from another computer over the Internet to your own, you are transferring a file to another computer over the Internet. Please read our section below on how to SET UP an FTP session on your computer. Problems? Contact us general@uncommonhost.com
2. Do I need a special program to use FTP? No, but we recommend that you do find one. You may access a free FTP Manager within your control panel for you to use (with nothing to install!). However, you'll have to upload each file one at a time and it can get time consuming. There are, in fact, several free FTP Editors on the web and we recommend you to check out Wsftp, CuteFtp or http://www.download.com and perform a search for FTP clients. Problems? Contact us general@uncommonhost.com With our CPanel software this is really easy to configure. Host: A. If you have domain access, just enter:
ftp.yourdomain.com or your master IP Address provided in your
activation email. Main UserName: simply enter the username created
for you on account activation Password: (password) Problems? Contact us general@uncommonhost.com

6. Is there a certain file limit for my uploads? No. You can't go over your bandwith or your disk space however.Problems? Contact us general@uncommonhost.com
