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.
