What is FTP (File Transfer Protocol)?
FTP is a file transfer protocol and is the most commonly used protocol for modifying, updating, and uploading files, folders, images, or text files on your website. FTP is the simplest way to send files and folders online from your computer to the server. For example, if you want to upload WordPress on your website, you can send your files to the server via FTP.
With the data transfer between two different computers, it becomes easier to reach the desired content. Moreover, this process, which is provided extremely quickly, creates the opportunity to use the time in the best way. The FPT server, which provides data exchange and connection between computers at the same time, thus obtains a wide range of use.
In order to use FTP, you must have the information to connect to your FTP server. This is the name or IP address of the FTP server is your username, password, and the port number of the server to connect to. You also need a program to send your files via FTP to the server.
There are certain FTP server programs prepared with care. These programs make it much more practical to access data via FTP server addresses. The desired file can be downloaded or uploaded within seconds. In addition, the target source can be scanned with the file explorer feature. Thus, it becomes easier to see under which file the desired data is located.
FileZilla, WinSCP, and CyberDuck are among the most popular FTP server programs. After entering the FTP address, it is necessary to fill in the user name and password information. After the requested information is completed, the main source can be accessed and the desired file can be imported from there. Programs that display the download process offer a user-friendly experience.
What is Anonymous FTP?
Some FTP services accept connections over the internet with an anonymous user who is active by default. In this way, any user can download the files within his/her authority to his/her computer or send any file on his/her computer to the other computer via FTP service in line with the competence of his/her authority.
