What Is FTP Integration?
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a set of standard rules that govern data transmissions between computer networks. When an individual creates a webpage, FTP solutions make these documents available through the internet and enable them to move to servers where other web users can access them.
During FTP integrations, one digital system exports data in a flat file format, while another imports this information. Using an FTP client, you can upload, download, move, copy, rename and delete server files based on your needs.
FTP client integrations rely on two primary communication channels between the client and server:
- Control connection: These connections help users send and receive commands and responses. Typically, control connections require users to log on to the FTP server, though anonymous FTPs make content available without logging in.
- Data connection: Data connections facilitate file and folder transfers through a separate connection, sending information from the FTP server to the client.
