`File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
`
`Definition - What does File Transfer Protocol (FTP) mean?
`File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a client/server protocol used for transferring files to or
`exchanging files with a host computer. It may be authenticated with user names and
`passwords. Anonymous FTP allows users to access files, programs and other data
`from the Internet without the need for a user ID or password. Web sites are
`sometimes designed to allow users to use 'anonymous' or 'guest' as a user ID and
`an email address for a password. Publicly available flies are often found in a
`directory called pub and can be easily FTPed to a user’s computer. FTP is also the
`nternet standard for moving or transferring files from one computer to another using
`TCP or IP networks.
`File Transfer Protocol is also known as RFC 959.

`
`Techopedia explains File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
`The original FTP specification was written by Abhay Bhushan and published as RFC
`114 on April 16, 1971. This was later replaced by RFC 765 (June 1980). The current
`specification is RFC 959 (October 1985). RFC stands for request for comments.
`
`The first FTP client applications used the DOS command prompt with standardized
`commands and syntax. Since then, many graphical user interface (GUI) clients have
`been developed within operating systems, making it easier for the user to upload
`and download files.
`
`There are various uses for and types of FTP:
`1. An FTP site is a web site where users can easily upload or download specific
`files.
`2. FTP by mail allows users without access to the Internet to access and copy files
`using anonymous FTP by sending an email message to
`ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com (mailto:ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com) and putting the word
`help in the body of the text.
`3. FTP Explorer is an FTP client based on Windows 95 file manager (Windows 95
`Explorer).
`4. An FTP server is a dedicated computer which provides an FTP service. This
`invites hackers and necessitates security hardware or software such as utilizing
`usernames, passwords and file access control.
`5. An FTP client is a computer application which accesses an FTP server. While
`doing so, users should block incoming FTP connection attempts using passive
`mode and should check for viruses on all downloaded files.
