An FTP client is a software which uses the FTP protocol to transfer files to and from a remote computer.

FTP is the most widespread transfer protocol used to transfer files from one host to another over the Internet. Basic variant of the protocol is not secure.

If you want to transfer files securely, either use secure variant of FTP, the FTPS or use alternative secure protocol, SFTP.
