What is ftp meaning?

FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. It is a standard network protocol used to transfer files from one host to another over a TCP-based network, such as the internet. FTP can be used to upload and download files, create directories, and delete files on a server. It is commonly used for website maintenance, software upgrades or updates, and exchanging files between computers. FTP can also be secured using SSL/TLS encryption, which is known as FTPS. Nowadays, FTP is being replaced by more secure file transfer methods such as SFTP (Secure FTP) and SCP (Secure Copy Protocol).
