Name
ftp — stdin stdout - file -- opt --help --version
Synopsis
ftp [options]host
The ftp (File Transfer Protocol) program copies
files between computers, but not in a secure manner: your username and password travel
over the network as plain text. Use sftp instead if
your remote server supports it.
The same commands we listed for sftp also work for ftp. (However, the two programs support
other, differing commands, too.)
