    FTP (File Transfer Protocol)

    FTP (File Transfer Protocol)File Transfer Protocol is an internet utility software used to upload and download files. It gives access to directories or folders on remote computers and allows software, data, and text files to be transferred between different kinds of computers. FTP works on the basis of the same principle as that of the Client/Server. FTP “Client” is a program running on the computer that enables to talk to, and get stuff from, remote computers. The FTP client takes FTP commands and sends them as requests for information from the remote computer or known as the FTP server. To access the remote FTP server, it is required but not necessary to have an account in the FTP server. When the FTP client gets connected, the FTP server asks for the identification in terms of the User Login name and password of the FTP client. If one does not have an account in the remote FTP server, still he can connect to the server using anonymous login.

    Using anonymous login, anyone can login into an FTP server and can access public file archives, anywhere in the world, without having an account. One can easily login to the FTP site with the username anonymous and e-mail address as password. The basic objectives of FTP are:

    • a) to give flexibility and promote sharing of computer programs, files, and data
    • b) to transfer data reliably and more efficiently over the network
    • c) to encourage implicit or indirect use of remote computers using the internet
    • d) to shield a user from variations in file storage systems among hosts

    The basic steps in an FTP session are:

    1. Start up FTP client, by typing ftp on system’s command line/’C>’ prompt (or, if in a Windows, double-clicking the FTP icon)
    2. Give the FTP client an address to connect to. This is the FTP server address to which the FTP client will get connected
    3. Identify oneself to the FTP remote site by giving the login name
    4. Give the remote site a password
    5. Remote site will verify the login name/password to allow the FTP client to access its files
    6. Look directory for files in FTP server
    7. Change directories if required
    8. Set the transfer mode (optional);
    9. Get the file(s) if it is required
    10. Quit.
