Mary, In practice, ftp is a program, just as TB is. TB is really "thebat.exe", and the ftp program that is packaged with windows is "ftp.exe". If you open a DOS window and type "ftp", you will run the program (not to worry, it won't actually do anything). You will then get an ftp prompt and you can exit the program by typing "quit". Or you can type "ftp -h" to get some help information. The program is used to connect to another computer and transfer files to or from your computer, hence the name of the protocol. - Frank ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
