FTP Programs

FTP 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 program, or by getting it from someone who has downloaded the file. 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!
