1. What is FTP?
FTP (File Transfer Protocol). FTP is the most common way that Internet users retrieve files from other machines (hosts) directly connected to the Internet. There are many FTP servers that store large collections of information and software, available for anonymous FTP (meaning that any user is free to access the files without needing an account on the particular server). FTP can only be done from machines with a direct or dial-up TCP/IP connection to the Internet.
