The FTP server service is integrated with the Windows security model. Users connecting to the FTP server service are authenticated based on their Windows Powered user accounts, and receive access based on their user profiles. Keep in mind, however, that the FTP Server protocol relies on the ability to pass user passwords over the network without data encryption. As a result, a user with physical access to the network could examine user passwords during the FTP validation process.

Network Protocol Overview: FTP

The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) can be used interactively. FTP is a service that, once started, creates a sub-environment in which you can use FTP commands, and from which you can return to the Windows command prompt by typing the quit subcommand. When the FTP sub-environment is running, it is indicated by the FTP command prompt.
