A well-established standard for exchanging files over TCP/IP networks, File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is also designed for use over networks other than TCP/IP and for exchanging files with a broad variety of machines. FTP works in a client-server fashion, where the local client program connects to the remote FTP system. The client initiates commands to receive or send messages, and the server responds.
For more information on how to configure supported FTP and FTPS components (for example, listeners, emitters, and services) using iSM, see the iWay FTP Solutions Development Guide.
