Not a lot to worry about. FTP File Transfer Protocol (FTP) A client-server
protocol which allows a user on one computer to transfer files to and from
another computer over a TCP/IP network. Also the client program the user
executes to transfer files. It is defined in STD 9, RFC 959.
See also anonymous FTP, FSP, TFTP.
