We need an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server to transfer files over the internet. This can be used to transfer files anonymously or with a proper user ID and a password. If you want to have FTP in Win 2003, you need to install IIS web server. The FTP facility comes with it.
For your further knowledge I’ll give you a simple example. Lets say that I have a web site called http://www.test.com The site is up and running and suddenly I want to do a small modification for a one web page. Since I have a copy of the web site in my computer, I can modify that page only and upload it back the web server via FTP connection. So this time the site address will be ftp://www.test.com to upload the file. This is just a basic sample. Hope this helps!

Linux or FreeBSD OS could be gotten for loose (or inexpensive) and incorporate an ftp server (ftpd). or you may possibly stumble on a loose FTP server for homestead windows (did you try a cyber web seek?). in the experience that your server is on a private IP in the back of a router, you would be able to desire to forward port 21 and doubtless port 20 (based whether lively or passive ftp). And in the experience that your server is on a router in the back of DSL you have gotten mtu subject concerns except your router proper handles that, or you placed your server LAN nic to mtu of PPPoE (max mtu of PPPoE is 1492). There are dynamic DNS centers which would be certain a static call on your public IP, whether you have dynamic IP.

You don't. FTP to some aspects is a legacy protocol replaced by SFTP/SSH due to its added end to end encryption.
FTP is still used due to the number of FTP clients pre-installed on systems and the ability to do anonymous file transfers.
If you don't know why you need it, I would just leave it off. A misconfiguration turns your system into free disk space for anyone that finds your server.
