Below is a '''list of FTP commands''' that may be sent to a [[File Transfer Protocol]] (FTP) [[Server (computing)|server]]. It includes all commands that are standardized by the [[Internet Engineering Task Force]] (IETF) in [[Request for Comments|RFC]] 959 (unless stated otherwise). Note that most [[command-line]] FTP [[Client (computing)|clients]] present their own non-standard set of commands to users. For example, <code>GET</code> is the common user command to download a file instead of the raw command <code>RETR</code>.▼
