File Transfer Protocal (FTP)

The term FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. FTP is a set of specifications that everyone computer on the internet "understands." It allows us to copy a file from any Internet Host to any other Internet host. FTP, in a large part, holds the Internet together.

FTP is a client/server system, like many other internet tools. The user runs the client program (named ftp, or something similar) to connect to a server. Although there are many FTP programs, we suggest using WS FTP. You can download a trial version of the program at ipswitch.com, and use our free online tutorial.
