FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol, and it is a standard network protocol for transferring files between a client and a server over a TCP/IP network. FTP uses two separate channels for communication: a control channel for sending commands and receiving responses, and a data channel for transferring files.

This poses a serious security risk for the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the data and the systems involved in the file transfer. Therefore, FTP is not a secure way to transfer sensitive or confidential data over the
