File Transfer Protocol

[rahulvs]

FTP is the standard mechanism provided by the internet for copying a file from one host to another. Transferring files from one computer to another is one of the most common tasks expected from a networking or internetworking environment.

Although transferring files from one system to another seems simple & straight forward, some problems must be dealt with first. For example, two systems may have different ways to represent text & data. Two systems may have different directory structures. All these problems have been solved by FTP in a very simple & elegant approach.

The function of FTP is to assist you in transferring your files from your computer onto the web host's server. It was originally intended to be used over closed networks, so it was not designed to be a secure transfer protocol.
