You can get to anywhere else on the > network using it. Please forgive my unpardonable ignorance but I've seen this reference many, many times and I would *really like to know* the answer. What is 'ftp' and how does it work? Is it a program? Do the letters 'f', 't', 'p' stand for something? Is it a method or technique? How can I obtain sources, etc. via anonymous ftp? What procedure would I follow? What information would I need to have? Thanks in advance for any and all information provided! Please, no flames.
