When dealing with a large volume of pages that require image uploads, using FTP can indeed be a more efficient approach compared to traditional web uploads. 

The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is widely used to move files between computers, whether they are nearby or distant.

FTP stands out for its flexibility and widespread usage. It efficiently manages large sets of files and allows users to regulate transfer speeds.

Many web browsers include native support for FTP, and specialized FTP client programs are accessible on various operating systems. 

How to upload images using FTP?

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to upload images using FileZilla, a popular FTP client which is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Step 1: Download and Install FileZilla

• Go to the FileZilla website: https://filezilla-project.org/download.php 
  
• Download the appropriate version of FileZilla for your operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux).
  
• Install FileZilla by following the on-screen instructions.

Step 2: Connect to Your FTP Server

• Launch FileZilla.
• In the “Host” field, enter the hostname or IP address of your FTP server.
• Enter your FTP username and password in the appropriate fields.
• Leave the “Port” field empty unless your FTP server uses a non-standard port.
• Click “Quickconnect” to establish a connection to the FTP server.
  
  
  Note! If you will see such error while connecting to server, you just need to select proper protocol (SFTP). To do this, you need to click on the button in top left corner, create new site and fill in the credentials one more time. 
  
  
  
  

Step 3: Navigate to the Image Directory

• Once connected, you’ll see two panels in FileZilla. The left panel displays files and folders on your local computer, while the right panel displays files and folders on the FTP server.
  
• Navigate to the directory on the FTP server where you want to upload the images. This directory is typically named “public_html”, “www”, or “images”, depending on your server configuration.
  
  

Step 4: Upload Images

• In the left panel, navigate to the folder on your local computer containing the images you want to upload.
• Select the images you want to upload by clicking on them.
  
  
• Drag the selected images from the left panel to the right panel (FTP server) or right-click on the selected images and choose “Upload” from the context menu.
  
  
• FileZilla will start uploading the images to the specified directory on the FTP server. The progress of the upload will be displayed in the bottom panel of FileZilla.

Step 5: Verify Upload

• Once the upload is complete, you should see the uploaded images in the directory on the FTP server.
  
  
• You can verify the upload by navigating to the directory using a web browser or by refreshing the directory listing in FileZilla.

That’s it! You’ve successfully uploaded images using FTP. The uploaded images should now be accessible on your web server and can be used on your website as needed. You can use this method while uploading images to your serps project.
