File Transfer Protocol is also commonly referred to as an FTP. FTP gives users the ability to upload and share large media files such as large 10-megapixel pictures, whether it's a two-hour movie or a 5-megabyte file that needs to be transferred from one place to another. The FTP is commonly used over the internet because you can access it from anywhere that you have an internet connection available to you.
