FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. FTP is a standard network protocol for transferring computer files between a client and a server on a computer network. FTP is a simple technique to connect to a project if you don’t have full RDP access to the server.
FTP users can only access the folders that have been assigned to them, and they can control their environment to avoid mistakenly altering other users’ files and file structures on their projects.
