FTP

In computing, rules for transferring files between computers on the Internet. The use of FTP avoids incompatibility between individual computers. To use FTP over the Internet, a user must have an Internet connection, an FTP client or World Wide Web browser, and an account on the system holding the files. Many commercial and non-commercial systems allow anonymous FTP either to distribute new versions of software products or as a public service.
