    At it's name, FTP is protocol that need for transferring file between one computer to others. By default it use port 21. So that port should open at each computer.

    FTP is generally used for upload/download files to/from a remote server. Webmasters use this protocol to upload website files (php, html, jpg, css and other) to the webserver's particular folder (i.e. /var/www/).
    There is a huge number of FREE FTP clients which can be used to manipulate with the files (Google --> free FTP client).
