FTP (File Transfer Protocol) allows a person to transfer files between two computers, 
generally connected via the Internet. If your system has FTP and is connected to the Internet, 
you can access very large amounts of files available on a great number of computer systems. 
If you are on Bitnet or a UUCP host, you should look for servers that work through electronic 
mail (e-mail). A good source of information on archives in general, is the Usenet newsgroup comp.archives.
