An FTP, File Transfer Protocol, site is a server set up on a network , such as the internet, that hosts a place to share files with a community.
For example. If I sell network cards, I may set up an FTP server to make my drive and firmware upgrades available to my customers.
While Internet Explorer has a client built in so it seems seem less, FTP actually can be accomplished using a shell and entering commands into a command line. If you are using anything other than Internet explorer, you will have to download a client to use FTP.
I used to download shareware at ftp://ftp.cdrom.com.

An FTP site is a site used for the download and sometimes upload of files. If it makes it easier to understand, FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol.

FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol.
You can download and use FTP software to allow you to connect to the FTP site and quickly download the content available.
So FTP sites are offering downloadable content using the medium of FTP as opposed to other download methods/protocols.

FTP (File Transfer Protocol )
FTP allows you to copy or send files ( HTML documents,graphic images,spreadsheets ) from one computer to another on the internet.You can use its command language from a shell account or various programs with SLIP or PPP accounts that simplify the process.

They are simply file storage, just files. You can download them with an FTP program, or upload to your webpage.

Sites that you access using the File Transfer Protocol. A bit like "web" sites that you access using the HyperText Transfer Protocol.
