Life Before The Web
§Before the Web and the graphics-based Web browser, the Internet was
accessed from Unix terminals by academicians and scientists using
command-driven Unix utilities. These utilities are still used; however, today, they reside in
Windows, Mac and Linux machines as well. For example, an FTP program allows
files to be uploaded and downloaded, and the Archie utility provides
listings of these files. Telnet is a terminal emulation
program that lets you log onto a computer on the Internet and run a program.
