Newsgroup

A newsgroup is an Internet-based discussion around an individual, entity,

organization or topic. Newsgroups enable remotely connected users to share,
discuss and learn about their topic of interest by exchanging text messages,
images, videos and other forms of digital content (Techopedia,2013).

a. FTP

FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol and, as the name implies, it is a
way of transferring files between computers. It is also one of those wonderful
computer terms that’s both a noun and a verb.

As a noun, FTP is the name for a method of sending files, but also the
name of the program that actually sends the files. Usage example: “Please
send the file using FTP.”

As a verb, FTP means to send or receive files. A proper replacement is the

word send or fetch. Usage example: “FTP it to me.”

Originally, FTP was developed to send and receive files in the old text-
based computers and networks of the pre-graphical era of computers (before
the mid-1980s). You use FTP to access a remote computer on the network to
get or receive files, or to put or send files (What is FTP?,2016).
