It&#8217;s called a protocol, and in simplified terms, it&#8217;s there to allow a server (where the website lives) and a client (the device attempting access to the website) to communicate. Think of it as the front doorbell to your site: the doorbell rings, you recognize the person there, and you allow them in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s another door, however, the one where you might bring groceries in or take out the trash, and it&#8217;s usually only used by people living in the house: we&#8217;ll call it the back door. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SFTP is that door. Like HTTPS, it&#8217;s a network protocol. However, it&#8217;s private and allows you to move files and directories from your local machine \u2014 the place where you design and build your website  \u2014 to the server.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"768\" data-attachment-id=\"4465\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/sftp\/filezilla_logo-svg\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/FileZilla_logo.svg.png\" data-orig-size=\"768,768\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"FileZilla_logo.svg\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/FileZilla_logo.svg.png\" src=\"https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/FileZilla_logo.svg.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/FileZilla_logo.svg.png 768w, https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/FileZilla_logo.svg-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/FileZilla_logo.svg-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/williamcromar.com\/newmediawiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/FileZilla_logo.svg-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Filezilla icon<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In this title, we&#8217;ll first review best practice for file management, to ensure things will work when moving it up to the server.

A file named <em>red balloons.png<\/em> shows up as <em>red%20balloons.png<\/em>. The convention:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For <em>red balloon.png<\/em>, use a hyphen: <em>red-balloons.png<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For a prefix or suffix descriptor like a date or number, use an underscore. For <em>99 red balloons.png<\/em>, write <em>99_red-balloons.png<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use lower case<\/strong> | lLowercase letters ensure the name is consistent across platforms and avoids case sensitivity issues. It&#8217;s also easier to remember: was it <em>Red Balloon<\/em>s or <em>red balloons<\/em>?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The case against camelCase<\/strong> | <em>camelCase<\/em>, sometimes known as <em>camelBacking<\/em>, is an alternative  spacing convention found in programming, but it&#8217;s not necessary in a file name. So: use <em>red-balloons<\/em>, not <em>redBalloons<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Avoid reserved or special characters<\/strong> | Characters like <strong>&amp;  &lt; &gt; &#8221; \u00a9 \u00ae \u2122 \u2248 \u2260 \u00a3 \u20ac \u00b0<\/strong> and the em (<strong>\u2014<\/strong>) or en (<strong>\u2013<\/strong>) dash are reserved in HTML, so putting them in names will break code. Special characters like <strong># &amp; % + * = @ ~ ^ $<\/strong> may not be understood by a browser. Emojis? Come on.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Be consistent!<\/strong> | A consistent convention across all files and directories makes them easier to manage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Make extensions explicit<\/strong> | It&#8217;s important to append the file type: <strong>.jpg<\/strong>, <strong>.png<\/strong>, <strong>.css<\/strong>, <strong>.htm<\/strong>, and so on.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"But_what_if_I_cant_see_any_file_extensions\"><\/span>But what if I can&#8217;t see any file extensions?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some file extensions have legitimate alternates, like the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>.<strong>htm<\/strong> and<strong> .html <\/strong>are valid for HTML documents. I favor <strong>.html<\/strong> in my convention.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Both <strong>.jpg<\/strong> and <strong>.jpeg<\/strong> are valid for the JPG file type. I tend to favor <strong>.jpg<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s important to be able to see extensions and alternates in web development. One annoyance found in both Windows and Mac is a default for the OS to hide file extensions. This may make for a prettier UI, but for a web developer it&#8217;s torture, especially if you&#8217;re not sure about alternate extensions lurking among your files!
