File transfer protocol or FTP is an internet protocol that allows users to transfer files between servers over a network with a TCP connection.<\/p>\n

If you often deal with servers and the world of information technology, of course, the term FTP is already familiar.<\/p>\n

Because currently FTP is one of the most frequently used transfer protocols for exchanging data.<\/p>\n

The reason is that transferring files via FTP is easier than using other devices.\u00a0Even cooler, you can do it remotely.<\/p>\n

So if you want to know more about FTP<\/a>, this article will cover everything you need to know about it.\u00a0Starting from the meaning, function, and how to use it.<\/p>\n

Let’s just get started!<\/p>\n

What is FTP?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

FTP (\u00a0File Transfer Protocol<\/strong>\u00a0) is an internet service designed to establish a connection to a particular internet server or computer, so that users can send files to a computer (\u00a0download<\/em>\u00a0) or send files to a server (\u00a0upload<\/em>\u00a0).\u00a0FTP is currently widely used to exchange data, because it is easier than using a wired or physical device.<\/p>\n

It is hoped that with this article, readers will be able to understand what FTP is and how to use FTP to do remote servers.\u00a0Remote servers are very useful for managing websites without having to log into a hosting account or\u00a0Virtual Private Server<\/em><\/a>\u00a0(\u00a0VPS\u00a0).<\/p>\n

FTP history<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Before discussing the history of what FTP is, I will explain a little about the relationship between Telnet and FTP<\/a>.\u00a0Telnet is used to make a direct connection (\u00a0indirect network<\/em>\u00a0), while FTP uses an indirect connection.\u00a0These two types of TCP\/IP connections became the two main models introduced.<\/p>\n

Indirect connection means using the resources of the\u00a0remote-host<\/i>\u00a0and using them on the local system.\u00a0Then transfer it back to\u00a0remote-host<\/i>\u00a0.<\/p>\n

The first FTP standard was RFC 114 which was issued in 1971, even before TCP and IP existed.\u00a0This standard is used to define the basic commands used for planning communication systems that want to use them.\u00a0The FTP protocol used for internet standards was compiled by the Internet Engineering Task Force committee as a series of official RFC (\u00a0Request for Comments<\/em>\u00a0)\u00a0documents\u00a0.<\/p>\n

FTP was created with the aim that users can move files from one place to another.\u00a0Like most TCP\/IP protocols, it is based on a\u00a0client<\/em>\u00a0\/\u00a0server<\/em>\u00a0model\u00a0.<\/p>\n

FTP Server Functions and Uses of FTP<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

There are several FTP functions that are currently widely used, such as uploading web pages to the Internet via\u00a0web hosting\u00a0.\u00a0Other functions such as updating the revision of the program are carried out by the FTP application\u00a0developer<\/em>\u00a0.\u00a0In full, the following are the functions of FTP that currently exist.<\/p>\n
