post2.jpgImagine a very large traditional filing cabinet as large as a room filing cabinet that is what an FTP site is like. In a filing cabinet, the clerk can label and organize files depending on how he wants it or the system he implements. He also dictates which files can be accessed freely and which files are off limits and available only to a chosen few.

In an FTP site, a UserID and Password is the key that opens this giant filing cabinet. The creator of the site has the power who to grant access to what information. Some sites have open access to everyone with a valid UserID and Password. For open sites, the UserID is “anonymous” and the Password would be your e-mail address. However, for restricted sites, there is an assigned UserID and Password unique to every qualified user.

The software that is used to move files from one computer to another connected computer using the internet is called an FTP Client. It has to be installed in the computer and you can only use it when connected live to the internet. A traditional look of an FTP Client is a two-paned design. The files on your computer can be seen on the left pane while the files on the remote computer can be seen on the right pane.

Transferring of files is done easily by just dragging-and-dropping the files from the left pane to the right or vise versa. Files can also be transferred by highlighting a file and then click a direction arrow which is located between the panes.

Defining FTP

Published January 2nd, 2008 in General | No Comments »

post1.jpgFile Transfer Protocol (FTP) is an Internet standard where files are exchanged between two computers connected to the Internet. FTP is an Internet application that utilizes the Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocols in moving the files between the sender and the receiver.

Common usage of the FTP is transferring a web page created by the developer to the computer which acts as the network server. The network server in turn displays the web page on the computer of the user that accessed it. This is basically how files move within the World Wide Web. There are many commercial FTP programs on the Internet that you can buy or you can also search for free FTP programs.

A software standard that is used to send files to a web browser is called an FTP (File Transfer Protocol). We can use this protocol when we are uploading sites on a server – allowing the movement of files between computers. In other words, it will help to upload files coming from a computer to a web server, and then recovering from the web server to another computer.

Another use for FTP is to transfer files between computers with users on a larger intranet. This is especially useful for files that are bigger for an e-mail attachment. Once you have unveiled FTP in its truest sense, you will come to know how it will support you in managing your site.
