FTP - File Transfer Protocol
FTP - File Transfer Protocol. File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used to copy a file from one host to another over a TCP/IP-based network, such as the Internet. FTP is built on a client-server architecture and utilizes separate control and data connections between the client and server.[1] FTP is used with user-based password authentication or with anonymous user access.
