The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is one of the most common means of copying files between servers over the Internet. Most Web-based download sites use the built-in FTP capabilities of Web browsers, and, therefore, most server-oriented operating systems usually include an FTP server application as part of the software suite. Linux is no exception.
