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

                    Downloading through a Web browser is usually
                    easier than using an ftp client. Try clicking
                    the link for the file you want in the table
                    above. Most modern browsers handle ftp
                    downloads correctly. If you get no response or
                    an error message, see
                    <a href="seq_trouble.html">Troubleshooting</a>
                    before trying to use ftp directly.<br />

                    Be sure that your ftp program is set up to do
