What does FTP stand for?

FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol, which is a standard network protocol used to transfer files from one host to another over a TCP-based network, such as the Internet. It is widely used for uploading and downloading files to and from servers. The protocol enables the exchange of files between devices in a structured way, allowing for commands to be issued that help in the management of files, such as listing directory contents, uploading files, and downloading files.

The other terms listed in the choices do not correspond to established networking standards. While "Fast Transfer Protocol" and "Fast Transmission Protocol" might suggest efficiency in file transfers, they do not refer to any recognized protocol in networking. Similarly, "File Transmission Program," while it describes an action relating to file transfer, lacks the specificity and standardized definition that "File Transfer Protocol" provides in the context of network communications. Thus, the accurate and widely accepted term for this well-defined standard is indeed File Transfer Protocol.
