File Transfer Protocol

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is network protocol used to transfer files between a client and a server on a network. An FTP can transfer files from computer to computer with an internet connection. It is called "uploading" when a client computer transfers files to a server, and "downloading" when transferring files from the server to the client. After connecting to a server, a person can upload, download, and delete files.

The second requirement would be a server address. This would look like a set of numbers. The third requirement would be a username and password.
