<td>'''20'''</td><td>'''FTP'''<td>'''File Transfer Protocol (Data)''' - The File Transfer protocol provides a mechanism for transferring specific files between network connected computer systems (usually a Linux or UNIX based system). Transfer is typically performed using the ''ftp'' client which provides a range of commands used to connect to a remote server for the purpose of uploading or downloading files. Most modern web browsers also have the ability to browse and download files located on a remote FTP server. FTP uses TCP (rather than UDP) to transfer files so is considered to be a highly reliable transport mechanism. FTP does not encrypt data and is not considered to be a secure file transfer mechanismprotocol. The use of Secure Transport Protocol (''SCP'') and Secure File Transfer Protocol (''SFTP'') is strongly recommended in place of FTP.</td>
