Which tool is used to transfer files to a web server when publishing a manually coded webpage?

• A. A dedicated FTP client
• B. A GUI builder
• C. The FTP client built into a Web IDE
• D. A solution similar to WAMP

Answer: (A)

Transferring files to a web server for publishing a manually coded webpage is all about moving your local site files to the remote host. A dedicated FTP client specializes in this task, handling the connection to the server, authentication, and the uploading (and management) of files and folders. It’s built specifically for file transfers and works with many hosting providers, making it the most reliable and straightforward tool for publishing static HTML, CSS, and image files.

A GUI builder is focused on designing pages visually, often generating code rather than handling the publish step. The FTP client built into a Web IDE can work, but it ties you to that particular environment and might not be as flexible. A WAMP-style setup runs a local server on your computer for testing, not for sending files to a remote server.
