ICSE CLASS 8 | CH-8- NETWORKS | NETWORKING PROTOCOLS: FTP | FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL

FTP or File Transfer Protocol is a standard Internet Protocol. It is one of the simplest and easiest ways to exchange files between two or more computers on the Internet, using FTP client and FTP server software. FTP uses the Internet's TCP/1P protocols to download software/programs to our computer from other sources. The source can be a web server or a remote host over the Internet.

You can use FTP either using a GUI based FTP software or via MS-DOS prompt. Nowadays, Internet browsers have an in-built feature to make FTP requests to other servers. To access any file or content using FTP, a user needs to login on the FTP server and provide his/her credentials. The FTP software allows the user to drag and drop the file between the remote and local host. Some of the files are always available free for public use/download. Such files can easily be accessed using anonymous FTP.
