The Virtual FTP

Service

Connecting to a remote computer using FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is

similar to TELNET, except for the following:

All the tools of a shell are not available.

Access to files is limited.

Browsing capabilities are limited.

You can use FTP to transfer files of any type between computers running

different operating systems. For example, you can transfer files between an

UNIX server and a Windows PC (with FTP client). FTP is popular

worldwide because FTP clients are readily available for all platforms.
