In addition, FTP also plays one of the essential roles in a Seedbox or VPS. In addition, FTP traffic (along with its relatives) is also commonly not monitored and throttled by ISPs or network admins, so they are a safe method (when encrypted) for file sharing.įTP is commonly used for uploading/downloading files to web servers, downloading content from the Internet, as a file-sharing system within enterprises, and more. Its communication comes with low overhead, is fast, but is not secured. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is one of the most traditional methods for transferring computer files.
