'''FTP''' is an acronym for  '''F'''ile '''T'''ransfer '''P'''rotocol, which is a [[TCP/IP]] based network protocol just like the [[HTTP]] used to transmit files from one computer to another through the Internet. FTP is designed to transfer small multiple files such as images on a web page instead of transferring a single large file. This standard protocol supports the pausing, scheduling, and restarting of file downloads.
