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 "FTP Client-Server Model". 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.
