FTP Client
An FTP client is a software application that enables users to transfer files between a local computer and a remote server using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP). It provides a user interface for connecting to FTP servers, navigating directories, uploading and downloading files, and managing file permissions. FTP clients are commonly used for website maintenance, software distribution, and data backup tasks.
Developers should learn to use an FTP client when they need to deploy web applications, upload static assets to a web server, or manage files on remote hosting services. It is essential for tasks like updating website content, transferring large files between systems, and automating file synchronization in development workflows, especially in environments without integrated deployment tools.
