File Transfer Protocol (FTP)

Technically this is a set of instructions (protocols) for how two computers talk to each other when transfering files from point A to ponit B. In practise the term is more commonly used to refer to the software that carries out the procedure and is also used as the verb 'to FTP the files from my computer to the server'. If you have ever used 'Windows Explorer' (aka 'My Computer' or 'My Documents') to move files from one location on your hard drive to another (or to a floppy disk or a pen drive) then you will be able to master FTP relatively quickly.
