What is FTP?
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) in simple terms means an easy method of transferring large files over a network or the internet. One can transfer files over the internet by using many different means; for example through email or even through Messengers, but the problem that arise is that it takes a lot of time and also that we can only send one file at a time, the only solution to this problem is to use FTP.
FTP is pretty much similar to the HTTP; the only difference is that in case of HTTP users use web browsers (Internet Explorer and Mozilla fire fox etc) but in case of FTP, client FTP software (WSFTP and CuteFTP etc) is required.
FTP advantages include:
It is easy to use; it is efficient and is fast.
User can send and receive unlimited number of files.
FTP makes transfer and management of data easier.
FTP gives you control, you can choose the format of file (binary or ASCII) that you want to transfer.
FTP allows you to have an automatic backup.
