FTP
File Transport Protocol, FTP, is a standard for transferring files over the Internet. FTP is typically used by web designers as a tool to copy documents to the web server where they are made publicly accessible to users with a web browser. FTP is a client/server protocol, which means that transfers can only be made to or from an FTP server by using FTP client software. FTP servers are protected with usernames and passwords, but some servers allow guest or anonymous logins, with ‘guest’ or ‘anonymous’ as the username, and the e-mail of the user as the password.
