 <para>
 &FTP; is the Internet service used to transfer a data file from the disk of 
 one computer to the disk of another, regardless of the operating system type. 
 </para>
 
 <para> Similar to other Internet applications, &FTP; uses the
 client-server approach &mdash; a user invokes an &FTP; program on the
 computer, instructs it to contact a remote computer, and then requests
 the transfer of one or more files. The local &FTP; program becomes a
 client that uses <acronym>TCP</acronym> to contact an &FTP; server
 program on the remote computer. Each time the user requests a file
 transfer, the client and the server programs cooperate to send a copy
 of the data across the Internet.</para>
 
 <para> &FTP; servers which allow <quote>anonymous &FTP;</quote> permit
 any user, not only users with accounts on the host, to browse the
 <quote>ftp</quote> archives and download files. Some &FTP; servers are
 configured to allow users to upload files.</para>
 
 <para>
 &FTP; is commonly used to retrieve information and obtain software stored in 
 files at &FTP; archive sites throughout the world.
