A frequent question on usenet:
how do I ftp from xxx a file mentioned in some newsgroup?

Answer:  almost always requires that you have access to a machine on the
ARPAnet (actually DOD internet these days, with ARPAnet and MILNET being the
two main subnets), running TCP/IP software.
FTP is an interactive file transfer protocol command; usually you interact
with a series of commands to establish a connection to some remote machine,
log in, copy files in either direction, examine directories, etc.  A bit
like UUCP.

The sad fact is that if you didn't know what it is, you probably can't do it.
