The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) isn’t on everyone’s mind these days, unlike HTTPS, so seeing it mentioned somewhere may confuse you.
The first FTP client applications existed long before operating systems had graphical user interfaces. So how could you possibly need some protocol from the early 1970s today?
Here’s the thing: FTP is still commonly used by skilled professionals in different areas — and not just web developers or system administrators. If you’re maintaining a personal or professional website, sooner or later, you’ll find yourself in need of a robust file transfer solution. We’ll help you understand what FTP is and what it’s used for.
