i'm confused... why (or when) would you need to upload your 'files' to an ftp site, and which files are you uploading... versus using your hosting company? is ftp designed for something else other than your website content, i.e. pictures, flash, etc. for uploading? i guess i'm asking when would you use an ftp site for upload... and when would you use your hosting company for uploads... and what content do you upload for both, whew!

thanks!!
