FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is
a standard network protocol used to transfer computer files between
a client and server on a computer network.
The original specification for the File Transfer Protocol was written by Abhay Bhushan and published as RFC 114 on 16 April 1971. The latest specification of FTP is defined in RFC 2428.
