File Transfer Protocol | Vibepedia

The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used to transfer files between a local computer and a remote server. Developed in the 1970s by Abhay Bhushan, FTP has become a crucial tool for exchanging files over the internet, with popular clients like FileZilla and Cyberduck. Companies like IBM, Microsoft, and Google rely on FTP for secure data transfer, while protocols like SFTP and FTPS have emerged as more secure alternatives.
