The aim of FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is to transfer files between a client and a server over a network. It provides a reliable and efficient way to move data between devices.
The role of FTP in the application layer is to facilitate the transfer of files and data between devices in a network. It provides the necessary commands and responses for file operations like upload, download, delete, and rename.
The purpose of an FTP client application is to enable users to connect to an FTP server, navigate the server’s directory structure, and perform file operations such as uploading, downloading, and managing files on the server.
