Mainly the somewhere else is either an FTP or an SFTP. In this microlearning, we will look at the FTP and learn how to set up the connection between eMagiz and the FTP.

17		-* FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a network protocol for transmitting files between computers over Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) connections.
18		-* In an FTP transaction, the end user's computer is typically called the localhost. The second computer involved in FTP is a remote host, which is usually a server.
19		-* Servers must be set up to run FTP services, and the client must have FTP software installed to access these services.

31	31	So, where the file pickup component searches on the local host for the correct directory, the idea of the FTP setup is that the directory with whom to communicate exists on a remote host. The local host and the remote host can talk to each other via the FTP protocol. That is, in a nutshell, the difference between setting up an FTP connection and communicating with local directories.
