What does the term FTP mean?
The term stands for File Transfer Protocol. This is a method of transferring files across the internet (normally to and from a web server – to update web pages etc). What actually is email? Email is a system where a message can be sent from your computer to anyone with an email address. Email is a very fast way of communicating. Messages a usually short text messages, however, the email system can also “attach” a file to a message. The file can be of any type, such as an image or sound file or Word document etc. How big an attachment can I send by email? In theory a very large attachment can be sent, but in practice anything above 5Mb would be considered large, we do not recommend sending attachments over 10Mb. What is a POP account? Most email delivers to an area of the web server where the email messages are stored in POP3 accounts. The term POP stands for “Post Office Protocol”. Think of this as a system similar to an old post office where individual letters are stored in pigeonhole
