FTP stands for

AFull Text Processing

BFile Transfer Program

CFile Transfer Process

DFile Transfer Protocol ✓ Correct

Correct answer: (D) File Transfer Protocol

Explanation

FTP expands to File Transfer Protocol, a standard for moving files between computers over a network.

Full Text Processing has nothing to do with transferring files.

File Transfer Program names an application rather than the protocol the letters denote.

File Transfer Process is close in words but not the standard expansion, which ends in protocol.

FTP traditionally uses separate channels for commands and for the data being moved.

FTP commonly works over TCP ports 20 and 21.
