The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) transfers files to and from a remote network. The protocol includes the ftp(1tcp) command on the local machine and the ftpd(1Mtcp) daemon on the remote machine. ftp lets you specify on the command line the host with whom you want to initiate file transfer and options for transferring the file. The ftpd daemon on the remote host handles the requests from your ftp command.
ftp includes a set of internal commands that allow fine control over its operation.
The procedure for setting up an anonymous FTP server may be found in ``Configuring File Transfer Protocol (FTP) servers''.
