FTP
You can use File Transfer Protocol (FTP) software to transfer files to or from
other computers on the Internet. Many specialized computers known as
servers provide Internet users with files through FTP. FTP software comes in
handy when you want to download (copy to your computer) software or
software updates over the Internet.
Telnet
With Telnet software you can log onto other computers so that you can use
their programs and data as if those items were on your own hard disk. Many
libraries, for instance, have electronic (online) card catalogs that you can
access by using Telnet software. There are a variety of other specialized
databases that you can access through Telnet.
