If you want to build a website, you need the webserver to
save data (your website presentation) there. Mostly you have stored all data on
your computer. So you must transfer them to the server. The commonly way to
upload data to the server is using FTP client. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is
used to transfer data from one computer (your personal computer) to another
computer (webserver). FTP client looks like File Manager and you can copy
(upload, download) files here from one computer to another computer.
