FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a standard network protocol used to transfer files between a local computer and a remote server. In the context of Hikvision devices, FTP is used to upload new firmware versions to the device, replacing the existing firmware. This method is commonly used for updating firmware on Hikvision devices, especially when the device is not connected to the internet or when the update needs to be done manually.
