Definition: The term "ftp.mandriva.com" stands for "Forwarding Transfer Protocol Version 1", which refers to an FTP protocol used by some Linux distros, specifically Mandriva, as a protocol for file transfer over IPv4 networks. Detailed definition: - The forward transfer protocol version 1 (FTP) is a network protocol that allows files to be moved from one computer to another on an Internet or local network. It was developed by Sun Microsystems in the late 1970s and became widely used during the mid-to-late 1980s. - It's primarily used for transferring files between two computers connected over a local area network (LAN) using IPv4 addresses. The protocol involves sending a request to download specific files on one computer, then retrieving those files from another server that is located at `ftp.mandriva.com`. - The protocol version 1 protocol was introduced to allow FTP clients and servers to communicate directly and securely over the Internet without any additional network layers or layer 2 protocols like HTTP or UDP. This type of transfer allows for real-time data exchange between computers on a local network, making it useful in scenarios where file sharing is essential but requiring limited network bandwidth.
