(File Transfer Protocol) A protocol used to transfer files over a TCP/IP network (Internet, Unix, etc.). For example, after developing the HTML pages for a Web site on a local machine, they are typically uploaded to the Web server using FTP.
FTP includes functions to log onto the network, list directories and copy files. It can also convert between the ASCII and EBCDIC character codes. FTP operations can be performed by typing commands at a command prompt or via an FTP utility running under a graphical interface such as Windows. FTP transfers can also be initiated from within a Web browser by entering the URL preceded with ftp://.
Unlike e-mail programs in which graphics and program files have to be "attached," FTP is designed to handle binary files directly and does not add the overhead of encoding and decoding the data.
The term is also used as a verb; for example, "let's FTP them the file."
What's that? Oh, it was a rhetorical question? Never mind. ;~D
Yep...I can just ping you to my blog now.
Heh! I gotta blog...
Whoda thunk it?
I have been thoroughly corrected on that one.
The "Chocolate Thunder" does sound very nice :)
Like yer blog...
Nice blog... you're making some progress there, it looks like!
Hi, all. I'm not sure what the weather's doing, it's sort of snowy. Which is bad, I need to get together with a friend to work on stuff. But if I get stuck at her house, that's bad because I have to go with my other friend to her doctor's appointment tomorrow... sigh...
Heh... ;)
Sure, I know what "chunder" is in Australian... but "chocolate thunder" has an unfortunate slang meaning here in the U.S. of A. too...
Thank you!
The weather is awful here too, Jen, no snow thankfully.
That's fantastic!
Truly, the web is changing the way we do things in ways both subtle and profound...
I still want to check out a church about twenty miles away, but I am such a wimp when it comes to snow travel. Sigh.
LOL!
The other day in teh FReeper Canteen thread I grabbed the triple six so that no-one else would get stuck with it.
*cue sad melodramatic music*
"I took the triple six for you! *coughing* Tell everyone I'll miss them!*death rattle*"
I can't drive anywhere! I got steel belt showing through my tire in the front. Gotta wait till our income tax comes in so I can get a new tire before I can go anywhere! LOL
If I had been able to get it ready without being afraid someone would post ahead of me, I would have linked this wav file to the big "Evil!" in the 666 post...
He he! You're so silly.
Usually only have that kind of time in Zot threads.
And only if replying to the trolls.
*sigh*
I use these at times, the top two with a Susan Estritch photo:

Thanks.
Sometimes I get the oddest things in my head.
Sometimes? When do you not have the oddest things in your head?
LOL!
Usually when I'm too busy to post or do much of anything else.
Thank you!
I'm pretty tickled with it...I just had to go back and copy the code from when I posted before, now all three "diary" entries are in place!
