&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.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para> 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 <acronym>TCP</acronym> 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.</para>

<para> &FTP; servers which allow <quote>anonymous &FTP;</quote> permit
|
|
any user, not only users with accounts on the host, to browse the
|
|
<quote>ftp</quote> archives and download files. Some &FTP; servers are
|
|
configured to allow users to upload files.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
&FTP; is commonly used to retrieve information and obtain software stored in
|
|
files at &FTP; archive sites throughout the world.
