FTP Applications
FTP applications are computer software programs that facilitate
the transfer of files between computers. FTP stands for file transfer
protocol. A protocol is a language that is used by two computers
to communicate. As long as the two computers are using the same
protocol (language) the two computers can transfer files back
and forth even if the two computers are running different operating
systems.
Telnet Applications
Telnet applications are computer software programs that facilitate
communicating with a remote computer, usually a server. Through
a telnet application, a user can run a program on the server without
actually having the program on their own computer. Mostly, programs
run through telnet are text-based programs. Windows and UNIX come
with telnet programs. There are many other free, shareware and
commercial telnet programs for Windows, UNIX and the MacOS.
