A common file transfer format used on the internet.
The Internet protocol that allows the viewing, downloading, and uploading of files on remote computers. With FTP you can login to another Internet site and transfer (meaning send or receive) files. Some sites have public file archives that you can access by using FTP with the account name "anonymous" and your e-mail address as the password. This type of access is called anonymous FTP. Macintosh owners use a program called Fetch; one of the best FTP programs for Windows is called WS-FTP.
One method of transferring files over intranets/internet.
The Internet protocol (and program) used to transfer files between hosts. Its most popular Internet use is "anonymous FTP," where you log in to a remote system using the login name anonymous and may need to type your full address as the password. With anonymous FTP, you don't need an acdount on the remote machine in order to access certain files. You can perform FTP through Gopher and tthe WWW or directly from a system command line.
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.
A Intenet protocol (set of rules) that allows the transfer of files between computers on the Internet regardless of their type or the brand of software being used. FTP software is written in two styles, FTP servers that interact with the file storage archives on the Internet, and FTP clients that allow users to upload and download files to and from those machines (via the FTP Servers).
FTP is a protocol that allows the transfer of files from one computer to another. FTP is also a verb used to describe the act of transferring files from one computer to another.

This Internet protocol is used to copy files between computers--usually a client and an archive site. It's old-fashioned, it's a bit on the slow side, it doesn't support compression, and it uses cryptic Unix command parameters. But the good news is that you can download shareware or freeware apps that shield you from the complexities of Unix, and you can connect to FTP sites using a Web browser
