'''File Transfer Protocol''' or '''FTP''' is used to download or upload files.

TLS support (encryption) was added in 2.2.0. Implicit TLS is preferable over Explicit TLS.

The syntax for Implicit TLS (most secure):
 <nowiki>ftps://host/file</nowiki>
 <nowiki>ftps://host:port/file</nowiki>
The syntax for Explicit TLS:
 <nowiki>ftpes://host/file</nowiki>
 <nowiki>ftpes://host:port/file</nowiki>
Or for no encryption:
 <nowiki>ftp://host/file</nowiki>
 <nowiki>ftp://host:port/file</nowiki>
