FTP (or File Transfer Protocol) is a network protocol (RFC 1122) used to transfer data from one computer to another through a network such as the Internet.
FTP is a file transfer protocol for exchanging and manipulating files over a computer network. A FTP client may connect to a FTP server to manipulate files on that server.
