Besides uploading website files, I would add that an ftp site is essential if you need to exchange files with clients or vendors. Most hosting companies give you the ability to setup additional ftp logins and private folders. If you run your own server, most of them come with an ftp server -- vsftpd on linux and iis on windows. Also there are free ones such as filezilla (http://filezilla-project.org/). For linux and vsftpd setup, check out http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch15_:_Linux_FTP_Server_Setup. The windows iis ftp server can be tricky, so I highly recommend the 3-part guide starting at https://www.orcsweb.com/articles/mastering_iis_ftp.aspx. Also there are some affordable third party solutions now that handle all the technical issues of setting up an ftp site for you and give you a nice web-based solution with your own custom branding. Try http://www.sharefile.com/ftp/ftp-site.aspx if you want to read up on ftp site alternatives. Yan, great intro.
