Summary
Configuring an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) client for Minecraft allow players to upload and download files to and from their server, which can help transfer custom maps, mods, skins, and other game data. It makes managing and organizing game files easier. Additionally, an FTP client can allow players to quickly backup their Minecraft files, which can be helpful in case of crashes, data loss, or other issues.
