If you have been using (now owned by Hostinger) for free web hosting, you have likely encountered a mysterious utility in your control panel labeled "Download Folder" or seen references to it in online tutorials. For many beginners, this feature is confusing. Is it a backup tool? A migration tool? Why would you need to "download" a folder when you have an FTP client?
