What is FTP?
FTP is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol. As the name implies, FTP is used to transfer files between computers on a network, such as the Internet. In an FTP transfer, your computer acts as a "client" sending a files to a remote host, or "server". Even computers from different manufacturers and running incompatible software can use this FTP process to exchange files over the Internet. To establish a connection to an FTP server, you generally need to provide a user name and a password in addition to the Internet address of the server (for example, hostname.berkeley.edu); someone would need to set up a user account and assign a password for you before you would be able to access the server.
