What FTP means

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is one of the oldest and most common methods of transferring files between computers on a network. It enables users to upload, download, and manage files on remote servers. While useful for basic data exchange, traditional FTP transmits information in plain text, making it less secure without encryption or modern replacements.
