File Transer Protocol (FTP)

In my day to day job as a 'Database Administrator' I use this application frequently. So learning more on using FTP is always a good thing.

I realise that using the file transfer protocol (FTP) is a crucial element of Internet use that, often, takes place 'in the background' behind what appears to be web browsing, as I sometimes need to move and store data.

File transfer protocol is a tool used to move files back and forth between computers in ways that are not about display (such as http) but about movement and storage.

The main use for FTP these days is when people are maintaining and changing websites.
