File Transfer Protocol(FTP) is a medium through which two computers over internet can perform file transfers and file commands. This is the most commonly used protocol for exchanging files over Internet or an intranet.

There are two computers involved in the process- FTP server and client server. The FTP server runs a FTP server software responds to the connection request made from other computers. The client server runs a FTP client software which connects to the server and then the file manipulation operations such as uploading files,download files and deleting files on a server takes place.
