FTP was first invented in the UNIX world in order to move files from onecomputer to another. It consists of two pieces of software. One to send theinformation from a computer and another one to receive the information. It is now widely used to transferfiles from a computer to web-space using an internet connection

So instead of downloading a file from the internet to your computer,it uploads a file from your computer to the internet
