This section of The CWS Apps List reviews four different types of apps, each with quite a bit in common -- they can all be obtained as standalone packages or as integrated clients in gopher apps and web browsers. File Transfer Protocol (FTP) clients are the most popular method for obtaining files over the Internet. Literally thousands of anonymous FTP sites have been set up to allow the public to download and try out files. In fact, almost every application on The CWS Apps List can be found on an anonymous FTP site. While web browsers have become more popular as of late for FTPing files (most have an integrated FTP client), standalone FTP clients retain more functionality and features than those found in web browsers. So, for the serious file-grabbing netizen, a standalone FTP client may be the better application for downloading files compared to those found in web browsers. Archie clients are search engines designed to locate a specified file contained on an anonymous FTP site. The archie client connects to an archie server, which checks all the FTP sites in its database for the specified file. Archie makes the task of finding a specific file on the net much easier. However, many gopher clients and web browsers can access archie servers, which reduces the need for a standalone client. Finger and Whois clients both tap into their respective servers in order to obtain information about a certain individual or group with an account on a given computer. These queries also often allow you to find out if the individual or a member of the group is currently on the 'net. Again, both of these apps can be obtained as standalone clients but are more often used as an integrated client of a gopher app or web browser. The following are brief descriptions of each application featured on the File Transfer Protocol / Archie / Finger Page.
