Overview:
File Transfer Protocol is the ability to send and
receive files from other computers. You will need to know the name of the file and the
address of the site who has it before ftping this can be acquired by using Archie. FTP programs vary widely in their features, from simple
programs that let you select a file and tell it where to upload to, to programs that let
you schedule uploads and downloads and more. As with most programs, make sure you get one
that does what you need but don't bother with a ton of features you'll never use!

programs we've seen. One of the best features of this program is it's "cueing",
you can move around directories on the FTP site and select a bunch of files, from
different directories, to download or upload, then hit "go" and go to sleep or
whatever. It has the resume download feature, and will reconnect to a site after
disconnection if you wish, and auto resume downloading any files you have cued. Very worth
checking out.
