The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used to transfer computer files between hosts over a network like the Internet. FTP allows uploading and downloading files between a remote server and local computer with proper login credentials. There are several FTP client software options that can be used on Windows, Mac, and Linux systems to upload or download files from an FTP server. Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) provides an encrypted connection for file transfers to prevent password and sensitive information from being transmitted unsecurely like regular FTP. Amazon also provides cloud storage services where users can store files and folders using their unique access key and secret key credentials.
