    Hi,

    File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a network protocol used to transfer data from one computer to another through a network such as the Internet.

    FTP is actually used for uploading and downloading the files... so, we have to write the test cases for uploading different files with different formats and test cases for down load the same files also we can write test cases for uploading the files which exceeds the upload limit etc..

    Please correct me if I am wrong.

    Regards,

    hi sumanth,

    FTP sites are typically used for uploading and downloading files to a central server computer, for the sake of file distribution.

    In order to download and upload files to an FTP site, you need to connect using special FTP software. There are both commercial and free FTP software programs, and some browser-based free FTP programs as well.

    The typical information needed to connect to an FTP site is:

    The "server address" or "hostname". This is the network address of the computer you wish to connect.

    The username and password. These are the credentials you use to access the specific files on the computer you wish to connect to.

    Thanks
