ARPA Services 

The ARPA services are a subset of the networking services originally
developed by the University of California at Berkeley for the Advanced
Research Projects Agency (ARPA). ARPA services have become a de facto
standard for multivendor network communication.

FTP 

FTP is an ARPA Service that allows users to transfer files among other
networked systems.  FTP is the file transfer program that uses the ARPA
standard File Transfer Protocol (FTP). With FTP, you can also perform
file management operations.

FTP is based on the client-server model as shown in Figure 1-1 .  An
FTP user on a system (the client) accesses the remote host FTP server to
perform FTP tasks.  FTP conforms to the de-facto industry standards
RFC959 and RFC1123.
