FTP
FTP, or File Transfer Protocol, is a standard network protocol used to transfer files from one computer to another over the Internet. Think of it as a digital delivery service that allows users to upload, download, or manage files on a server. Users typically access FTP through specialized software or web browsers, entering a server address, username, and password. It’s commonly used for sharing large files, managing website content, or backing up data. FTP operates over a client-server model, where one computer (the client) requests files from another (the server).
