File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
File Transfer Protocol (or simply FTP) is a widely-used protocol for transferring files across computer networks.
FTP consists of two programs:
The FTP server has two tasks:
- Receive uploaded files from clients
- Send downloaded files to clients
FTP servers are typically associated with web servers. If you have a web server account, you probably have an FTP account to go with it.
The FTP client has two tasks:
- Upload files to server
- Download files from server
In this course, we will use FTP clients to upload and download files.
- We will not download, install, or work directly with FTP servers
FTP clients
Many FTP clients are available. All do essentially the same thing.
For this class, You may use any FTP client you like.
FileZilla
FileZilla is a popular FTP client:
- Free and open source
- Available for Mac, Windows, Linux
FileZilla uses a two-panel display:
- Local files (on your computer)
- Remote files (on web server)
Fetch
Fetch is available for Mac only.
- Fetch uses a single window to display remote (web server) files
- Use a Mac Finder window to display local (your computer) files
