13 FTP Server Administration
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a client/server protocol that allows a user on one computer to transfer
files to and from another computer over a TCP/IP network. When you set up an anonymous FTP
account on your system, any remote user can access your system by means of the user name ftp
or anonymous. Once logged in, the user has access to only a special directory hierarchy containing
public files, and can copy these files to another system using FTP. Anonymous FTP is a very useful
information vehicle on the Internet, but it poses particular security issues for the host system.
Internet Express includes the Pure-FTP server.
