File transfer protocol (FTP) is een protocol dat uitwisseling van bestanden tussen computers vergemakkelijkt. Het standaardiseert een aantal handelingen die tussen besturingssystemen vaak verschillen. Een FTP-client (zoals FileZilla) start een verbinding met een FTP-server standaard via TCP-poort 21. De huidige versie is gedefinieerd in RFC 959. Aanvullingen zijn te vinden in RFC 2228, RFC 2640 en RFC 2773.
