sorry to sound so pompous, but imo a person should not even be using the Internet if they don't know what FTP is or means...

I also am irritated by the use of the term "hyperterminal".. Ughh, that is just a freaking brand name. The term should be "terminal emulator" and then use "Hyperterminal" as an example application.. I don't care if hyperterminal comes with Windows..

Ok, I've extinguished my anal-ness for the week..
