What is FTP?

FTP stands for “File Transfer Protocol.” FTP is the most common and effective way to securely transfer small and large files from one location to another over the Internet. Regardless of whether the files are photos, drawings, software programs, MP3’s, etc., it is the quickest and most efficient method for transferring files.

The FTP file transfer method is used most often by organizations that need to transfer large files via the Internet but can’t do so via conventional email attachments. Most often their email service provider puts hard limitations on the file size they are allowed to attach and email.

When downloading or uploading a file to/from the Internet (an FTP site), you're actually transferring the file between your computer and another computer via the Internet. This is what the T (transfer) in FTP stands for. You may not know where the physical location of the computer is that the file is coming from or going to but you most likely know its URL or Internet address.
