FTP is a commonly used protocol used to transfer files. There are many ready-made solutions; it might not be necessary to program it. On the other hand, you may need to integrate FTP into some other application. In other words, if you already decided to program in Java, you may need to add FTP capabilities to it.
The Difference Between a File Server & an FTP ServerFunctiono File servers store data for an entire network, just as an individual computer's hard drive stores data for that individual computer. File Transfer Protocol (FTP) servers run an FTP application to exchange files over the Internet, which is the world's largest network.Similaritieso File serving and FTP serving are both networking methods that involve file transfer between computers. FTP servers need to work together with file servers in order to function. In a network using FTP, file servers store data while FTP servers transmit that data over the Internet, with both being necessary for file transfer to occur.Differenceso FTP servers download files from or upload files to file servers. FTP servers move files to and from file server locations. FTP servers require file servers, but file servers do not require FTP servers, since file servers also serve various intranet networks not connected to the Internet.http://www.ehow.com/facts_6885629_difference-file-server-ftp-server.html-RLSB
Many hosting services provide an editor in their user interfaces that would allow you to enter and edit HTML code for your pages. Barring that, you're going to want to look for a utility to upload/download the files from the server. Some hosts provide a web interface, and some only provide you with an FTP username/password combination. This information is specific to your account and your hosting company.If you use FTP, you will download the file to your local machine, open it with an editor like Notepad (or Notepad++ if you want syntax highlighting) make your changes, save the file, and use an FTP client to upload the file back to your server, where it will overwrite the old file.See the related links for background information on FTP, as well as FTP client and HTML editing programs.
In most cases, you're going to need to use an FTP client. FileZilla (see related links) is a full featured, free FTP client for multiple platforms. These clients typically show your local hard drive on one side, and the remote server on the other. They allow you to transfer files to and from the server. Essentially, it's the same as copying a file to a new folder, but over the network. Your hosting provider will have provided you with the URL and a username/password combination set to allow you to login to the appropriate FTP site. In some cases, hosting providers also provide a web interface that allows you to pick the file from your local machine and upload it to the server via an HTTP interface. Again, your host will provide you this information. For more on FTP, including a walk-through of the FileZilla interface, see the related link "FTP: A Client Side Primer."
make a shared folder....you might have to change the setting on the both servers

You can upload the file using FTP software such FileZilla
By visiting the Filezilla project website you are presented with a free FTP application download. Skype can also be used as an FTP application that is free as well; it can be downloaded via their website.
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is found in the TCP/IP stack of the Application Layer of the OSI reference model. FTP is specialized for sending and receiving files.
This is called a server. Mostly called a FTP server.
The purpose of an FTP server is to transfer files from your computer to your web server. The amount of files you can upload depends on the size of them. For the most part, the number of files to upload will not be an issue.

FTP operates in application layer of ISO OSI layered model.
1.application: e-mail application-layer protocol: SMTP [RFC 2821] 2.application: WEB application-layer protocol: HTTP [RFC 2616] 3.application: streaming multimedia application-layer protocol: HTTP (eg Youtobe), RTP [RFC 1889] 4.application:file transfer application-layer protocol: FTP [RFC 959] 5.application: remote terminal access application-layer protocol: Tenet [RFC 854]
If you have access to your FTP, you upload the PDF into the website files.
You can't upload your files to "the internet". You will first need a web space provider (or install a server yourself and buy a domain).Once you have web space, you will need an FTP connection to it and an FTP client to upload files there. Some programs for page design or developing such as Notepad++ or Dreamweaver already come with a built-in FTP client or easy add-on systems.
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is an application layer, or Layer 7, protocol.
