What is FTP? Simple, I m a rookie, thank you!

FTP is a software for uploading and **. I don't use it much, I used to use ftp to transfer the things in my computer to the free space on the Internet when I made my own web pages, and it can also be used for ** files, as long as there is an address.

FTP is defined as follows:

FTP (File Transfer Protocal) is a protocol used to control the bidirectional transfer of files on the Internet. At the same time, it is also an app. It allows users to connect their PCs to all servers running the FTP protocol around the world, and access a large number of programs and information on the servers.

The general steps to transfer files are as follows:

1. Log in to the Internet on the local computer, 2. Search for a file-sharing host or personal computer (generally there is a special FTP server ** published on it, with the name, password and path to enter the host or personal computer).

3. When a connection is established with the remote host or the other party's personal computer, log in to the host or the other party's personal computer with the username and password provided by the other party.

4After the remote host or the other party's personal computer is successfully logged in, you can upload the Dongdong you want to share with others or the Dongdong authorized by others to share (here Dongdong refers to the Dongdong that can be put in the computer and can be seen on the display screen).

In order to achieve file transfer, users also need to run special file transfer programs, such as the Internet Express has this function, and there are many other special FTP transfer software, each with its own characteristics.

A long-range transmission protocol.

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a protocol used to transfer files on the Internet (File Transfer Protocol). It is a file transfer standard developed to be able to transfer files to and from each other on the Internet, and it specifies how files are transferred on the Internet. In other words, through the FTP protocol, you can upload or download files with the FTP server on the Internet.

Like any other Internet application, FTP relies on the concept of a client-server relationship. There are some ** on the Internet, which provide services according to the FTP protocol and allow netizens to access files, these ** are FTP servers. If users on the Internet want to connect to the FTP server, they need to use the FPT client software, usually Windows has the "FTP" command, which is actually a command-line FTP client, and the commonly used FTP client programs are CUTEFTP, WS FTP, FTP Explorer, etc.

To connect to an FTP server (i.e., "log in"), you must have an account for that FTP server. If you are a registered customer of the server host, you will have an FTP login account and password, which you can use to connect to the server. But a large percentage of FTP servers on the Internet are known as "anonymous" FTP servers.

The purpose of such a server is to provide a copy of documents to the public, and therefore users are not required to register with the server in advance.

FTP is to send a certain folder on your computer through the network, and you can also directly access it on other computers by logging in to the FTP address you created!

Transmission control protocol, similar to HTTP, it is also a connection-oriented protocol, it is a bit different from HTTP in that it works with two ports, one is 20 and the other is 21, one of these two ports is used to transmit data files and one is used to control the transmission of information. It only provides you with the way to browse the file, not in the form of a web page, which is opened in the form of an HTTP protocol. FTP requires a username and password, and you can also log in anonymously, depending on whether the permission is set.

By the way, there is also an intranet problem, if you are an intranet user, then you don't need a username and password, you can log in directly. If it's an extranet, it depends on whether that ** supports anonymous login.
