Explanation
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) operates at the Application Layer (Layer 7) of the OSI model. It provides file transfer services between client and server systems. As an application layer protocol, FTP relies on lower layers for transport (TCP), session management, and actual data transmission. The Application Layer is where user applications and network services interact directly with the network.
