What is FTP?

FTP, or File Transfer Protocol, is a communications protocol for exchanging files over a network.

It enables a computer to copy files from or to another computer on the network, to manage a website, or to delete or modify files on that computer.

What is an FTP user?

A user is an account that allows you to carry out operations on the files to which you have given this user access.

The user can carry out routine operations on the folder he or she can write to.

A user can therefore :

• Create a file
• Rename a file
• Delete a file
• Change the rights of a file
• Insert a file
• Upload a file
