What are the difference between remote desktop connection and file transfer protocol?

Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) allows users to access and control a computer remotely as if they were sitting in front of it, enabling them to run applications and manage files directly. In contrast, File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is specifically designed for transferring files between computers over a network, allowing users to upload, download, and manage files without accessing the entire desktop environment. While RDC provides full interactive access to a remote system, FTP focuses solely on file management and transfer.
