1.3.1 FTP Overview

FTP is a common way to transmit files on the Internet and IP network. Before the World
Wide Web (WWW), files were transmitted in the command line mode and FTP was the
most popular application. Even now, FTP is still used widely, while most users transmit
files via Email and Web.
FTP, a TCP/IP protocol on the application layer, is used for transmitting files between a
remote server and a local host.
The Ethernet switch provides the following FTP services:
FTP server: You can run FTP client program to log in the server and access the
files on it.
FTP client: After connected to the server through running the terminal emulator or
Telnet on a PC, you can access the files on it, using FTP command.
