File Transfer Protocol<\/strong> (FTP) is a set of rules used by networked computers to speak to each other.\u00a0 Besides,\u00a0 FTP is the language used by computers on the TCP \/ IP network (such as the Internet) to transfer files to and from each other.<\/p>\n

You’ve probably already experienced FTP on the net. Have you ever downloaded a modern nightly build of Firefox or downloaded MP3s from a kid’s personal server in Sweden? So you just used FTP without even knowing it. Today’s web browsers allow you to download files from the browser window via FTP. It’s very convenient, and it’s perfect when you need to access a file or two, but the browser-download approach doesn’t offer a lot of flexibility. You can’t upload, force a transfer mode, or ask the server any questions you might have. And don’t even get me started on the issue of security. But if you’re doing any kind of web development, you need all that kind of web creation.<\/span><\/p>\n
