What is FTP?
The File Transfer Protocol is an internet protocol that allows to reliably transfer files over the Internet. The objectives of FTP are to promote sharing of files (computer programs and/or data), to encourage indirect or implicit (via programs) use of remote computers, to shield a user from variations in file storage systems among hosts, and to transfer data reliably and efficiently. FTP, though usable directly by a user at a terminal, is designed mainly for use by programs.

What is FXP?
FXP is not really a protocol in itself but a part of the FTP protocol. FXP allows to move files between two distant computers. Then you can transfer files from a server to an other without to have to download them before. Note that IglooFTP PRO allows you to transfer via FXP not only files but also whole directories. IglooFTP PRO fully supports FXP recursive transfers as well as FXP transfer resumes.
