# FTP

**APIs profiled:** 0

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a standard network protocol used to transfer files between a client and a server over a TCP-based network. FTP is a protocol specification rather than a vendor or HTTP API, and is documented primarily in IETF standards (RFC 959 and follow-ups) and in widely deployed server implementations such as vsftpd, ProFTPD, Pure-FTPd, and FileZilla Server. This index links to the canonical specifications and documentation for the protocol; no OpenAPI is generated because FTP is not an HTTP API.
