File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used for the transfer of computer files between a client and server on a computer network. FTP is built on a client-server model architecture using separate control and data connections between the client and the server. Here, we outline the steps to install and configure two popular FTP servers, Vsftpd and ProFTPD, on CentOS Stream 9, along with client configurations for both CentOS and Windows.
