What is this FTP thing?

[Dynamo]

I heard that it is yet another method of downloading "stuff". Can anyone school me on this and tell me if its as viable as the P2P's out there

You have to know the FTP address, username, and password to use FTPs. FTPs are tougher to get. Gamecop seems to have a knack to find them.

 

But once you find a good FTP, you'll find lots of stuff on them.

I see, i was asking because there is a website with a ****load of video game soundtracks and they have an FTP thingy, so im sold. Im told that like BT and IRC, this requires a client. So, whats the best FTp client?

Does dial up + FTP downloads work? Or do you need a faster connection?

 

And where do you find some of these FTP sites, usernames, and passwords?

No, you don't need a faster connection.

Unless you want faster download speed.
