We need some context Neil.
FTP is file transfer protocol and is used to upload and download large
files instead of, for example, emailing them.
An 'FTP login' could mean account credentials, i.e. a username and/or
password for accessing an FTP service.
Basically it's like giving someone the keys to your front door to
deliver a parcel, or to take one away. Depending on how you've set up
your FTP server, the hallway door would be locked as well, leaving some
room inside the property to shelter the package.
It's straightforward enough to setup an FTP server on linux, although
for a personal computer on a broadband connection it could be rather
less straightforward. On the other hand, accessing someone else's FTP
server is usually a piece of cake, assuming they give you an 'FTP login'
for it (or not, in the case of some organisations who offer a public
service).
Cheers,
Ed

Some one is asking about my FTP login. I am not sure what that means.
Can anyone please tell me?
