Hi,

A kind of ftp. Slower, using an alternate protocol, but has some nifty
features. Main differences with ftp are:

- you _must_ specify the portnumber for connection with the fsp host
  (ftp takes a 'well-known' port)
- when the connection is broken during file transfer, it can be continued
at
  the point where you left (ftp has to start all over again)

Fsp is widely used for illegal software 'sites'. As you have to specify
both
hostname and port address it is harder to get access to a specific site and
it's harder to trace...

Eric.
