Like most FTP software,&nbsp;CuteFTP&nbsp;uses a user-friendly graphical interface to perform tasks that would normally require a cumbersome command-line utility. It gives users the ability to upload,&nbsp;download&nbsp;and edit files on remote FTP servers without knowing all the details of the protocol itself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use it for:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Uploading website files&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Editing content directly on the server&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Managing backups&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Moving large files securely&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of it as a bridge between your local computer and your hosting account. Although&nbsp;CuteFTP&nbsp;is not free, it does have a free 30-day trial.
