FTP stands for File Transfert Protocol.

It is a protocol for file transfer.

FTP can work in active or passive mode.in the first case, the client contacts the server on the port 21, and this one calls back on the port 20.

In the passive mode, it is the client which initiates all the connections and only the port 21 is used.
