What is an ftp?

In: Computer Terminology [Edit categories]

Answer:

FTP is the acronym for File Transfer Protocol.

FTP is used to upload / download data from remote servers.

The protocol is quite simplistic and does not have the bulky package headers that HTTP has and as such is better suited for uploading / downloading larger files.
