File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a propular way to transfer files between your website and your local computer.  All you need is a FTP client software (such as FileZilla) installed on your local computer.  You can then use FTP username & password to connect.  FTP accounts can be managed by following these steps.

It's important to note that the FTP account name with "globe icon" should NOT be altered or deleted.  The system uses this for various tasks and if deleted could cause unexpected behaviour.
