- FTP works on a client-server model. The FTP client is a program that runs on the user’s computer to enable the user to talk to and get files from remote computers. It is a set of commands that establishes the connection between two hosts, helps to transfer the files, and then closes the connection. Some of the commands are: get filename(retrieve the file from server), mget filename(retrieve multiple files from the server ), ls(lists files available in the current directory of the server). There are also built-in FTP programs, which makes it easier to transfer files and it does not require remembering the commands.
