How to Make an FTP Link
If you have uploaded a file to an FTP server, or if you have found a file on an FTP server that you need to link to, then you need to know the format of FTP links. The format differs depending on whether the FTP server is anonymous or not. An FTP server allows you to upload and download files using the file transfer protocol (FTP). This is an Internet protocol for data transfer.
