Uploading files via FTP

Using the File Manager is simpler and doesn't require using any software other than a web browser, which you use to access the Publisher Control Panel anyway. The major disadvantage is that you can upload only one file at a time.

Using FTP is a little more complicated and you need either an FTP client application or the command-line FTP (which Windows, Mac OS X and Linux all have). What you lose in simplicity, you gain in power: with FTP, you can transfer not just single files, but multiple files and even whole directories at once.

The FTP option for uploading files is ideal if you want to use your blog to share, backup, or transfer files. FTPing files is very similar to uploading them using the File Manager, except that you use an FTP client, which allows you to upload multiple files at once.

Note: In order to FTP files, you must have an FTP client or an appropriate file transfer utility installed on your computer.
