The FTP client utilizes a FTP protocol to connect to an FTP server to transfer files.
Basic FTP clients attach to numbers of operating systems, including Windows, DOS, Linux and Unix. All the same, numerous enhanced clients come available often when shareware/freeware for Windows and when free software for Unix-like systems. Numerous modern web browsers have built-in FTP clients besides (though an FTP client might function better for personal FTP servers than the web browser).
A few operating systems including recently versions of Windows, Mac OS X or Linux (e.g. by having FUSE) can mount FTP servers as virtual causes directly in the operating technique, which can be gentler or even extra handy for a select few users than applying a specialised client.
Desktop environments like KDE or Gnome integrate FTP through KIO or GNOME VFS.
