FTP protocol is part of the Internet standards and is used to transfer large amounts of information. The first specifications in which this data transfer protocol was introduced appeared in 1971. Since that time, the possibilities of FTP have expanded significantly and it is difficult to imagine how users would be able to do without it if they would need to download or upload several gigabytes of necessary files to online storage. And how much time would it take to transfer a site from a local machine to a server, or vice versa? Of course, you can use the archiver, but what if the server does not support this function? It’s scary to even imagine. So FTP is a pretty useful tool.

port - port number for connection (usually 21, and you can skip it).
If you need to connect to anonymous FTP, an abbreviated command entry is used:
ftp: //host.at.domain: port
It happens that when connecting via FTP, there are some problems. In this case, it makes sense to check the settings of FireWall and antivirus.
