In computer jargon, File Transfer Protocol, ftp for short, is the name of an internet file transfer protocol. While Olia Lialina describes the WorldWideWeb as the asphalt of the internet, she sees ftp as a chance to display the inner workings of web processes and file structures. File Transfer Protocol is an attempt to break up the rigid surface so as to be able to embark on a more beautiful and intensive journey into the heart of the net.
