The FTP Protocol is included in the Internet standards used for transferring large amounts of information. The first specification, which was the data transfer Protocol, appeared in 1971. Since that time FTP capabilities expanded significantly and it is difficult to imagine how users would be able to live without it, if they would have to download or upload to the online storage several gigabytes needs files. And how much time it would take to move the website from local machine to the server, or Vice versa? Of course, you can use the archiver, but what if the server does not support this feature? It is terrible to imagine. So FTP – this is quite a useful tool.

The Concept of “Protocol” means the agreed format for the exchange of information between the two devices. And the acronym stands for “file transfer protocol" which translates as “a Protocol for file transfer”. For the transmission, the FTP Protocol uses TCP channel. The exchange built on the principle of "client-server”. Send confidential information via this Protocol, as there is no data protection on the server is sent in clear text. Of course, usually to connect to the FTP server need to authenticate, but it should not be expected, since the identifier and the user password is transmitted in clear text.

The FTP Protocol is used to exchange information with FTP sites, which represent a huge repository of useful and interesting information. The files on the FTP site is located in the tree, just as the local computer. In order to view the contents of storage you can use any browser, but it is better to use a specially created for this program. Users who prefer to work with command line OS, you can use the command "ftp".
