FTP is a protocol for transferring files over the internet, often used in eCommerce to transfer large amounts of data between systems efficiently. Merchants use FTP to export entire product catalogs with current product listings or entire product catalog to distributors. The fast-paced ecommerce world must maintain current product listings and FTP does this job very well. However, manual import of large amount of data takes lots of time which merchants would rather spend on managing more essential tasks.
