FTP Presentation

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used for transferring files between a client and server. It operates through a client-server model with basic commands for file operations and has both active and passive modes. While FTP is simple and widely supported, it has security limitations due to plaintext transmission, leading to the use of secure alternatives like FTPS and SFTP.
