+&FTP; + + +&Lauri.Watts; &Lauri.Watts.mail; + + + + + +&FTP; is the Internet service used to transfer a data file from the disk of +one computer to the disk of another, regardless of the operating system type. + + + Similar to other Internet applications, &FTP; uses the +client-server approach — a user invokes an &FTP; program on the +computer, instructs it to contact a remote computer, and then requests +the transfer of one or more files. The local &FTP; program becomes a +client that uses TCP to contact an &FTP; server +program on the remote computer. Each time the user requests a file +transfer, the client and the server programs cooperate to send a copy +of the data across the Internet. + + &FTP; servers which allow anonymous &FTP; permit +any user, not only users with accounts on the host, to browse the +ftp archives and download files. Some &FTP; servers are +configured to allow users to upload files. + + +&FTP; is commonly used to retrieve information and obtain software stored in +files at &FTP; archive sites throughout the world. + + + + +Source: Paraphrased from +http://tlc.nlm.nih.gov/resources/tutorials/internetdistlrn/ftpdef.htm + + + See the manual: ftp. + +
