"File Transfer Protocol (FTP) marks its 40th anniversary on Saturday (April 16). The venerable network protocol was first proposed by Abhay Bhushan of MIT in April 1971 as a means to transfer large files between disparate systems that made up ARPANet, the celebrated forerunner to the modern interweb. The protocol required a minimum of handshaking, and even more crucially was tolerant of temporary interruptions during long file transfer sessions, making it far more suitable for the job than anything available at the time or HTTP, which came years later."
“周六（四月16日）是文件传输协议（FTP）的 40岁生日。这一值得尊敬的网络协议最初由MIT的Abhay Bhushan于1971年4月提出，作为在构成ARPA网（现代网际网之先驱）的异构系统之间传输大型文件的协议。该协议需要的牵手最少；更为关键的是，它能容忍长时间文件传输会话当中暂时的中断。这一切使得它比当时可用的一切途径，以及多年之后出来的HTTP协议，更加适合文件传输任务。
