FTP+Client

File Transfer Protocol or FTP is a standard network protocol used to transfer files from one host to another host over a TCP based network, such as the Internet. FTP is built on a client-server architecture and utilizes separate control and data connections between the client and server. FTP users may authenticate themselves using a clear-text sign-in protocol but can connect anonymously if the server is configured to allow it. The first FTP client applications were interactive command-line tools, implementing standard commands and syntax. Graphical user interface clients have since been developed for many of the popular desktop operating systems in use today. As a user, you can use FTP with a simple command line interface (for example, from the Windows MS-DOS Prompt window) or with a piece of software that offers a graphical user interface. Your Web browser can also make FTP requests to download programs you select from a Web page. Using FTP, you can also update (delete, rename, move, and copy) files at a server. You need to logon to an FTP server, however publicly available files are easily accessed using anonymous FTP.
