For those of you who must know the technical words for all of this, I culled this from Wikipedia:

FTP File Transfer Protocol
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia—See Below
This article is about the File Transfer Protocol standardized by the IETF. For other file transfer protocols, see File transfer protocol (disambiguation).
"FTP" redirects here. For other uses, see FTP (disambiguation).
FTP or File Transfer Protocol is used to transfer data from one computer to another over the Internet, or through a network.
Specifically, FTP is a commonly used protocol for exchanging files over any network that supports the TCP/IP protocol (such as the Internet or an intranet). There are two computers involved in an FTP transfer: a server and a client. The FTP server, running FTP server software, listens on the network for connection requests from other computers. The client computer, running FTP client software, initiates a connection to the server. Once connected, the client can do a number of file manipulation operations such as uploading files to the server, download files from the server, rename or delete files on the server and so on. Any software company or individual programmer is able to create FTP server or client software because the protocol is an open standard. Virtually every computer platform supports the FTP protocol. This allows any computer connected to a TCP/IP based network to manipulate files on another computer on that network regardless of which operating systems are involved (if the computers permit FTP access).
Now, wasn’t my version much simpler and easy to understand? By the way, if you get stuck, try the help menu on your computer.

New Blogging and Information Portal Appeals to Many Interests
Thebloogle.com launched

November 8, 2007 – News, views, how-to’s and more . . . that’s what you’ll find at thebloogle.com, a new blogging and information portal.

While there are thousands of blogs on the Internet, entrepreneur Nipa Shah believes the new venture will fill a definite need.

“Blogs that are focused on a particular topic or expertise are quite common. But there are fewer sites where you can find topics of all interests and even fewer that are user-friendly, informational and interesting,” said Nipa Shah, president of the online marketing and web site development company Jenesys Group, LLC in Novi, Mich. “This portal will be different. Our goal is to provide a blogging experience that will attract and engage readers and writers alike.”

The 14 categories on thebloogle.com range from Books, Films & More, where readers may find book or film reviews, to Dollars & Sense, where authors share financial know-how. Other categories include: Getting Down to Business, Health & Wellness, Kindergarten to College, On the Town, Hobbies & How To, Globally Speaking, Family & Friends, A Higher Power, Sports & Fitness, By Air Land & Sea, Pets and The Tech Place.

Shah, an Internet marketing expert who loves reading, writing and sharing knowledge, added that she is providing a medium for writers and subject matter experts to share their expertise with a global audience. She has teamed up with writer and editor Sue Voyles, president of Logos Communications, Inc. in Canton, Mich., who shares her enthusiasm for sharing information.

“We are confident that readers will find a blog that intrigues, informs or inspires them,” said Voyles.
Shah added: “I have a vision to create several portals to meet various needs of online users. It has always been my goal to facilitate knowledge sharing and thebloogle.com was a natural project to help me meet that goal.”
