FTP
An acronym for file transfer protocol. This is one of the oldest and most popular methods
of sending files across the Internet. Because the World Wide Web offers similar functionality and is easier to use, the popularity of FTP is declining. However, when a library of large files needs to be made available to technically experienced users, FTP is the best method.
Most software that you can download from the Internet comes from FTP sites.
An FTP site is the computer that offers files for public access. These might be image files, sounds,
motion pictures, text, or computer software.
