FTP

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a network protocol used to transfer data from one computer to another through a network such as the internet. The disadvantages of FTP are that it is very insecure - passwords are sent in clear text so it is easy for outsiders to access the information. To minimise the risk of this happening, you can use Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP). An advantage of FTP is that it doesn't discriminate against different operating systems - it is both pc and mac compatible.
