Internet tool to transfer files through the Internet from one computer to another. FTP is used to download files from another computer, as well as to upload files from your computer to a remote computer. Through (regular) FTP you can login  to another Internet site but you must have a user ID  and a password  . Anonymous FTP  servers don't require usernames or passwords, but you can't upload files to anonymous FTP servers.

(File Transfer Protocol) -- A very common method of moving files between two Internet sites. FTP is a special way to login to another Internet site for the purposes of retrieving and/or sending files. There are many Internet sites that have established publicly accessible repositories of material that can be obtained using FTP, by logging in using the account name anonymous, thus these sites are called anonymous ftp servers.

An Internet tool/software utility which allows you to transfer files between two computers that are connected to the Internet. Anonymous FTP allows you to connect to remote computers and to transfer publicly available computer files or programs.

File Transfer Protocol - Internet protocol (and program) used to transfer files between hosts.
See: File Transfer Protocol

A protocol which allows a user on one host to access, and transfer files to and from, another host over a network. Also, FTP is usually the name of the program the user invokes to execute the protocol. It is defined in STD 9, RFC 959. See also: anonymous FTP and FTP FAQ's

File Transfer Protocol

(File Transfer Protocol). The principle of FTP is simple. You logon to a site (using your FTP software), then you choose a file to transfer. All FTP activity requires you to log on to the remote computer with a user name and password. To get to files shown on the map, it's important to understand the concept of anonymous FTP. Here, you log on to the machine as a guest rather than as an authorized account holder. In this situation, type "anonymous" as the user name and your full e-mail address as the password. Once you log on, you'll be able to access specified directories as an anonymous user. You can also access FTP sites with your Web browser. In the location or dialog box, type ftp://xxx.xxx.xxx, then click from directory to directory. But be warned: this procedure doesn't always work, and Web browsers tend to be much slower at file transfers than dedicated FTP clients.

Stands for "File Transfer Protocol." It is a common and efficient method of transferring files via the Internet from one computer to another. Some common FTP programs are "Fetch", for the Mac, and "CuteFTP", for Windows. However, you can also use a web browser like Netscape to access FTP servers. Simply type the URL of the server into the location box. For example: ftp://name.of.site/ will give you a listing of all the directories of the FTP server, ftp://name.of.site/directory/ which will give you a listing of all the files available in that directory, and ftp://name.of.site/directory/filename will download the actual file to your computer. Most FTP servers are "anonymous FTP" servers which means you can log in with the user name "anonymous" and your e-mail address as the password.

FTP is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol and is a method for retrieving files from a remote Internet site. Many sites out there allow what is termed an 'anonymous' connection. In other words, there exists a special username called 'anonymous' so that the site can act as a library of useful public domain programs and documents.
