Computer Networks — Question 42

File Transfer Protocol is the simplest and most secure way to exchange files over the Internet. It is used to transfer files from server system to requesting node, primarily for information sharing. The main objectives of FTP are:

1. Indirect or implicit use of remote computers.
2. To shield a user from variations in file storage systems among different hosts.
3. To transfer data reliably and efficiently.
4. FTP uses the Internet's TCP/IP protocols to enable data transfer.
