File Transfer Protocol Usually only admin has access to this because this can change the whole content of the server. It's a protocol like http:// (ftp://) and prompts for username & password if credentials (@) are null... i suggest you to search google for this...

FTP is a protocol and tool used to transfer files from one machine to another. Like from your PC to a server. The server could be a web, app, file server.

FTP is a free, but is not secure. SFTP (Secure FTP) is recommended. Google FTP vs SFTP.
