Is there a way to download files without anonymous FTP?
You can also transfer your .EXE’s as files via HTTP but it isn’t as efficient. Since most web browsers support FTP URLs you can have your Web documents (in your Web directory on our system) refer to your FTP files (in your anonymous FTP directory on our system). FTP can be more efficient that HTTP for transferring files because some implementations support on the fly compression and decompression.
