+&FTP; is the Internet service used to transfer a data file from the disk of
+one computer to the disk of another, regardless of the operating system type.
+</para>
+
+<para> Similar to other Internet applications, &FTP; uses the
+client-server approach &mdash; a user invokes an &FTP; program on the
+computer, instructs it to contact a remote computer, and then requests
+the transfer of one or more files. The local &FTP; program becomes a
+client that uses <acronym>TCP</acronym> to contact an &FTP; server
+program on the remote computer. Each time the user requests a file
+transfer, the client and the server programs cooperate to send a copy
+of the data across the Internet.</para>
+
+<para> &FTP; servers which allow <quote>anonymous &FTP;</quote> permit
+any user, not only users with accounts on the host, to browse the
+<quote>ftp</quote> archives and download files. Some &FTP; servers are
+configured to allow users to upload files.</para>
+
+<para>
+&FTP; is commonly used to retrieve information and obtain software stored in
+files at &FTP; archive sites throughout the world.
