Understanding FTP

FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. It is a standard network protocol used for transferring files between a client and a server on a computer network. FTP operates on a client-server model, where the client initiates a connection to the server to transfer files. It allows users to upload, download, delete, rename, and manage files on a remote server. FTP communication can be secured using encryption methods like FTPS (FTP Secure) or SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) to protect data during transmission.
