FTP

The File Transfer Protocol (or FTP) is a standard network protocol used for the transfer of computer files from a server to a client using the Client–server model on a computer network.

The first FTP client applications were command-line, but thankfully most people now use a more graphical FTP client.  Perhaps our favorite is the free and open source FTP client, FileZilla.
