Some information about FTP, file transfer protocol

Finally, the Internet, like many online services, is scattered with 1000’s of interesting computer files that are accessible free of charge to Internet users. These files are usually located in areas called special interest groups (SIGs). There are over 5,000 SIGs on the Internet.

Information Marketers can upload free reports, announcements, press releases, etc., to these SIGs for others to download. This process is known as file transfer protocol (FTP).

Using this process, Internet users can send and receive computer files from all around the world. These computer files may contain more complex information than contained in standard e-mails. These computer files can contain text, graphics, sound, or they may be actual programs. They have all been created, saved, and stored by a computer connected to the Internet. You can send and receive advertisements, small reports, or entire publications using the File Transfer Protocol.
