What is FTP?

The File Transfer Protocol is an excellent method to retrieve or send files from one computer to the other on the Internet. Though files can be transferred using email, it is not a good choice if the file size is large or when you need to transfer several files.

Below are some FTP programs which I have used. Though these differ in their user interfaces, they all perform the same function, transfering files from one computer to the other.
The advantages of using an FTP program are several - you dont have to remember FTP commands, the program can keep a tab on which files were transfered thus saving you time, migration through the directories on the server becomes easier etc.
