CCP is the cubic closed packing,FCC is for face entered cubic structures.
When we place the atoms in the octahedral voidsthe packing is of ABCABC type hence its known as CCP while FCC stands for the unit cell.

Difference between FCC and CCP:
FCC (Face centred cubic) and CCP (Cubic Closed Packing) are mostly used interchangeably in defining the structure of a compound but they do have certain differences that distinguish them.
Firstly, FCC is a form of lattice that does not have determinable properties like density or volume and consists of only point. CCP is a form of crystal structure made of edges and planes and its properties like length, density and volume can be determined.
