4.24 FTP (File Transfer Protocol) Connection
FTP is the protocol for exchanging files over the Internet. It works in the same way as
HTTP for transferring web pages from a server to a user's browser and SMTP for
transferring electronic mail across the Internet. FTP uses the Internet TCP/IP protocol to
enable data transfer.
An FTP connection is needed to view the information saved in the XPS controller, to
