File Transfer Protocol (FTP)

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used to transfer files between computers over the internet. It allows users to upload files to a server or download files from it. FTP operates on a client-server model, where the client is the computer initiating the transfer and the server is the destination or source of the files. Users typically access FTP through specialized software or web browsers, entering credentials if required. It is commonly used for website management, sharing large files, and enabling collaborative work between users in various locations.
