Understanding FTP
In this recipe, we will open the FileZilla FTP client software, which has already been installed on a Windows 10 PC. We will also open an FTP site hosted on a remote server. We will see how to upload and download files, folders, media files, and program files.
Note
FileZilla is a third-party application available free online to download. Two types of FileZilla programs are available: FileZilla Clienta and FileZilla Server. FileZilla is designed for FTP server connectivity for file download and upload. In this book, the examples are covered with the FileZilla Client application, available at https://filezilla-project.org/.
