153                     An <span class="c15">ftp client</span> is a
154                     program that you use to transfer files between
155                     computers using the ftp protocol. The UNIX
156                     command-line program <span class="c16">ftp</span>
157                     is a text-based ftp client. (This client is also
158                     available on Windows and Macintosh OS X. ) FTP
159                     clients that offer a graphical user interface are
160                     available for most platforms.  Instructions on how
161                     to use the command-line version of ftp that is
162                     available for Windows, Unix, Linux, and Macintosh

171                     Downloading through a Web browser is usually
172                     easier than using an ftp client. Try clicking
