Q. Briefly explain FTP.

Answer :-

FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. It is the standard mechanism provided by TCP/IP for copying a file from one host to another.

While sharing files from one system to another, we may encounter several problems - two systems may have different directory structures, two systems may have different file naming conventions, or two systems may have different ways to represent text and data. All these problems are solved by FTP.
