Intro : What is FTP?
FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol (File Transfer Protocol), and is a very quick and versatile way to transfer files, one of the most used on the Internet. can refer both to the Protocol relating to the program implements this protocol (FTP server, in this case, traditionally appears in lowercase letters, influenced by the program to transfer files from Unix). data transfer in computer networks typically involves file transfer and access to remote file systems (with the same interface used for local files). FTP (RFC 959) is based on TCP, but is prior to the TCP / IP, and later adapted for the TCP / IP. It is the standard TCP / IP to transfer files, is a generic protocol-independent hardware and operating system and transfer files for free agency, taking into account access restrictions and the same properties. As file transfer.
What FTP do?
Upload through FTP:
There are two main ways to upload through FTP: through a standard Web browser or through a dedicated FTP software program like FileZilla, referred to as an 'FTP Client'. To start uploading via FTP you need to know your login information.
How To Find FTP login information?
To find the FTP login details for your account, you need to be logged into your Hosting Account.
in client area you'll find your ftp login detail, if you didn't find ask the admin (where you parchase hosting)
File transfer is between a computer called "client" (who calls the connection for data transfer) and a server (the one that receives the transfer request). The user, through specific software, you can select which files to send to the server. To be a connection to the server, the user enters a user name (or username, English) and password (password) as well as the correct name of the server or its IP address. If the data were reported correctly, the connection can be established, using a "channel" of communication, called a port (port). These doors are links where you can exchange data. In the case of FTP communication, the default port number is 21. access to FTP servers

How to use FTP through your browser?
Example
The underlying FTP protocol can run in either interactive or batch. The FTP client provides an interactive interface, while the HTTP and MIME use it directly. The protocol allows the recording and retrieval of files, the listing of the folder and change the workbook. Commands FTP client
FTP servers rarely change, but new FTP clients appear quite regularly. These clients range in the number of commands that implement, most commercial FTP clients implement only a small subset of FTP commands. Even though FTP is a protocol-oriented command line, the new generation of FTP clients hide this orientation in a graphical environment, often highly developed. The FTP client interface BSD UNIX is a standard by itself, having many commands archaic: TENEX or carriage control that currently have no use. The most commonly used commands are cd, dir, ls, get and put. FTP has particularities that are now uncommon. After activation of the FTP, a connection is established to the remote host. This connection involves the use of the user account on the remote host, with some FTP servers offer anonymous FTP. Certain commands are what makes the bidirectional file transfer, they are:
get the FTP server to the local host (mget for more than one file)
put to the FTP server from localhost (mput for more than one file)
Note: some commands may not work with the user is anonymous , as this account has limited rights to the operating system level. translation of filenames
The syntax of the file names may be incompatible between different operating systems. UNIX uses 128 characters, case sensitive, while DOS uses 8 + 3 characters and letters only. Some names can not be used in some systems. Because of this all BSD ftp defines rules for translating names. Posts FTP
FTP supports two modes of message transfer FTP: text (with appropriate translations) or binary (untranslated). Each message from the server includes a handle 3 decimal digits (example: 226 Transfer complete). These messages can be seen or not, using it for quiet or verbose mode, respectively. mode FTP the client-server
The server accepts a remote control connection client site. The client sends commands to the server and the connection remains throughout the session (in the case of a protocol so that uses TCP). The server creates a data connection for transferring data, a connection being created for each file transferred. These data are transferred from server to client and vice versa. Commands are separated from the client can send data and commands during data transfer. The closure of the connection indicates the end of the file. Command List FTPs
The following commands can be executed by the FTP command line. The FTP commands can be abbreviated, provided they do not form expressions ambiguous. We can see below a typical set of FTP commands directly obtained through the help command. ftp> help List of FTP clients
