"FTP, which is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol, is a client-server
protocol that allows users to transfer files to and from other computers
over a TCP/IP network. FTP has its origins at M.I.T. around 1971, and while
it has evolved somewhat over the years, it's one of the oldest protocols
that is still in use and dates back to the days of Unix mainframe computers
and dumb terminals. Today, it's still used extensively on that big wide area
TCP/IP network that we call The Internet. PC911 explains the basics of FTP,
including a quick tutorial to get started with WS_FTP LE, a free FTP
program."
