FTP, or File Transfer Protocol, is a standard network protocol used to transfer files between a client and server on a computer network. It's heavily used in deploying, updating, or downloading code from different environments in the software development cycle.
Understanding FTP is crucial for developers as it is often used to upload and manage files on servers—key in website maintenance, deploying applications, and moving large datasets, which are common tasks in many developer roles.
Without FTP confidence, a developer may struggle with basic deployment tasks, rely on others for file management, and face challenges in automating application updates, which could hinder their productivity and career progression.
Mastering FTP can lead to skills in server management, automated deployment, secure file transfer protocols like SFTP and FTPS, and a deeper understanding of network communication.
