When it comes to transferring files between your computer and the WordPress installation on your server, FTP is often the preferred method. FTP is a well-known and widely-used protocol that allows you to transfer files between your computer and a remote server.
WordPress supports FTP, but you will need to install an FTP client on your computer in order to use it. You can find many FTP clients available for free or for a fee. Once you have installed the FTP client, you will need to connect to your server.
To do this, you will need to know the IP address of your server. Once you have the IP address, you can use the FTP client to connect to your server.
Once you have connected to your server, you will need to find the folder that contains your WordPress installation. To do this, you can use the FTP client to navigate to the folder and then use the file listing tool to find the file that contains your WordPress installation.
Once you have found the file, you can use the FTP client to transfer the file to your computer.
WordPress supports FTP, but it is not the only way to transfer files between your computer and your WordPress installation on your server. FTP is a well-known and widely-used protocol, but it may not be the best method for every situation.
You may prefer to use another method, such as transferring files using a USB drive or using a different FTP client.
