1. List the features and the corresponding methods that need to be

implemented.

What is FTP?

3. Discuss any feature of the implementation that may help improve the
performance of the application.

1. We can provide more security and privacy to user.

2. We can restrict our myftp for specific entity that will increase out FTP performance.
3. Need a high speed internet connection.
