Connecting
to a remote computer with FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
is similar to TELNET, except with FTP:
- All the tools of
a shell are N/A.
- Access to files is
limited.
- Browsing capabilities
are limited.
You can use FTP to transfer
files of any type between computers running different
operating systems. For example, you can transfer files
between a UNIX server and a Windows PC (with FTP client).
FTP is popular worldwide because FTP clients are readily
available for all platforms.
