What is FTP?
As its name suggests, the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standardized network protocol used to transfer files between a client and a server over the internet or any other TCP/IP network.
FTP has been designed to promote sharing of files, across all types
of computers. A strength of FTP is the reliable and efficient bulk
transfer of files.
FTP is popular with website owners and web designers to upload files
to the servers of their web hosting company. Another common use case is
the exchange of files between companies; FTP is in many organizations
the de facto method for transferring large volumes of data.
What is an FTP Client?
An FTP Client is a program designed to transfer files between two computers.
While most web browsers support FTP file downloads, to upload files
and to perform other FTP tasks a dedicated FTP Client is needed.
By using an FTP Client users can upload, download, delete, rename, move and copy files on a remote server.
While FTP could be accessed via terminal, programs with a graphical
user interface are preferred, and Filezilla Client represents an easy to
use multiplatform solution.
Filezilla is the most popular and easy to use FTP Client, it is feature rich and available for Windows, Mac and Linux.
