How FTP Works

I was browsing through some old WS_FTP user guides and came across an excellent description of how FTP works:

"File Transfer Protocol uses the client-server model: one computer (the FTP Host) runs a server program "serving up" information to other computers. The other computers run client programs requesting information and receiving replies from the server.

WS_FTP Pro turns your PC into an FTP client, allowing it to communicate with virtually all types of FTP sites. When your PC is connected to the Internet (via a modem or local area network), WS_FTP Pro can connect to any system that has a valid Internet Address and contains an FTP server program. Once connected to an FTP site, you can download files, upload files, and copy files from one FTP site to another."
