We can describe an FTP site as a massive filing cabinet. With the filing cabinet, the person who is tasked to file all the documents can choose to tag and label and organize the way they want to compile it. They also are responsible for keeping the private documents locked away from any unauthorized use. And to make available what is for public use. An FTP site is works on the same principle. The key we use to log into an ftp site is the user name and password. You can choose whether to put apassword so public access can be closed or you can set it to anonymous so everyone has the access option to your files. You need to use a browser to connect to an ftp site.
