File Transfer Protocol!

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a common network protocol. It is a simple way to exchange files between computers on the internet. It manages to do this by using TCP/IP protocols. FTP is often used to download programs.

Advantages of FTP:
  • FTP allows you to continually update websites at any time.
  • You can transfer files from one computer to another.
  • It is fast and an efficient way to transfer large files over the internet.

Disadvantages of FTP:
  • You have to remember to back up everything!
  • It costs to have your own space on the web.
  • The connections can be unreliable and can often time out.
  • It has minimum data security features.


So we made two web pages connecting to each other through Microsoft Word. It was pretty damn simple!
