File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a method of transferring files between computers without concern for incompatible architecture on the different machines (e.g. transferring files from a PC to a UNIX server). There are a few simple commands in FTP such as GET (to get a file from a remote computer), PUT (to put a file on a remote computer), as well as normal style commands to move between directories or view the contents of the directory. Programs like Fetch or numerous Windows based FTP programs make File Transfer much more user friendly, so rather than using commands such as PUT and GET, the files on the remote server can be seen as if they were on your own computer.
