What is FTP ?

FTP stands for 'File Transfer Protocol' - the standard Internet protocol for transferring files from one computer to another. It is commonly used to copy files from a personal computer to a server or the other way round (i.e. copying files from server to your PC). When you copy files from your PC to server - its called 'uploading' and in the reverse case, i.e. when you copy files from server to your PC - the process is called 'downloading'
