Question

Computer networks

In one of the vacancies for the position of content manager there is a requirement "experience with various FTP".
Please explain what this means? What is included in this work?

Answer 1

This means that the person making up the requirements for the vacancy has a slightly higher qualification in this matter than minus 1.

Answer 2

A content manager is someone who creates and uploads content to a site (and edits it there).
Here he should be able to upload content via FTP (moreover, using different FTP clients), and not only through the file manager in the site / hosting admin panel (which [manager] may not be there at all).

Answer 3

Experience in managing files on the site via FTP.
This is one of the simplest and most common protocols through which files are uploaded or modified on the hosting where the site is located.
Each hosting has its own parameters for connecting via FTP.
To connect to the site via FTP, you will need an FTP client. A lot of them. There are both free and paid ones.
The job requirement assumes that the applicant already has experience managing files via FTP. It is assumed that the content of the site will have to be managed not only through the web interface of the site, but also directly through the site files. It can be pictures, it can be large video materials. Depends on what this site usually uploads to itself on FTP.

Answer 4

Either with FTP clients or FTP servers, depending on the context.
