The File Transfer Protocol, FTP, is a protocol for file transfer published as RFC 114 on 16 April 1971. In the older days of the internet the protocol was frequently used to upload and share files. Today the protocol is not used so much anymore. This made Archive Team decide to grab all the FTP servers.
The FTP grab started 30 November 2015.

Donating to the Internet Archive
Content downloaded by the ArchiveTeam will be uploaded to the Internet Archive, where it will be stored and be available – hopefully – forever. However, storing it costs thousands of dollars in the long run. So, if you can afford, please consider donating to the Internet Archive, so that this piece of history can be kept for us all. https://archive.org/donate/
