WHAT IS "FTP"?
--------------
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is the part of the TCP/IP protocol suite
that helps users move files between systems easily, and can be
tailored to match the specific types of files involved. If your
computer uses TCP/IP, you can use FTP. MultiNet users can do
file transfers too. While some systems look
different, FTP's functions are standardized, which means you can perform FTP
transfers between TCP/IP hosts anywhere in the world. Because of this,
many sites have set up software libraries that are available to all
network users via anonymous FTP (explained later).
