+>Similar to other Internet applications, &FTP; uses the client-server approach &mdash; a user invokes an &FTP; program on the computer, instructs it to contact a remote computer, and then requests the transfer of one or more files. The local &FTP; program becomes a client that uses <acronym
+>TCP</acronym
+> to contact an &FTP; server program on the remote computer. Each time the user requests a file transfer, the client and the server programs cooperate to send a copy of the data across the Internet. </para>
