<!-- FTP* -->
<!-- FILE* TRANSFER* -->
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is an <A HREF="i.html">Internet service</A>
enabling transfers of files from one computer on the Internet to another
computer on the Internet. FTP is a quick and reliable means of transferring
files across the Internet.
<P>
In order to FTP to a remote computer on the Internet, you need an FTP
client program. Most web browsers (such as the program you are using
now) will allow you to FTP. In are also several programs that are designed
specifically for FTP, such as WS-FTP, QVT/FTP, CuteFTP and Fetch.
These programs generally have better interfaces and are free to download
from the Internet (use <A HREF="
http://www.yahoo.com/Computers_and_Internet/Software/Internet/FTP/">Yahoo</A> to
find them).
