FTP

A File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a "file transfer protocol" that transfers files over different IP networks from the server to the client and vice versa. There are certain FTP programs which have been developed for this purpose. For example, when a website is to be put online, the files for the website are usually completed locally and transferred via FTP program to the server where the website is hosted. The File Transfer Protocol is located in layer 7 of the OSI layer model and is also used to create directories, rename, create, move, and delete files.
