👉 The FTP (File Transfer Protocol) Fluid is an advanced implementation of FTP that enhances performance and security by allowing multiple protocols to be combined within a single connection. It essentially turns an FTP session into a multiplexed stream that can carry additional protocols like SMTP, POP3, IMAP, or even HTTP/HTTPS, enabling efficient transfer of various types of data. This approach reduces the overhead associated with establishing multiple connections and simplifies network traffic management, making it particularly useful for complex data transfers and applications that require simultaneous communication with multiple services over a single FTP channel.
