| Archie A
long-established (read: antiquated) way to find files on the Internet,
Archie is a system that gathers, indexes, and helps you find information
anywhere on the Internet. Developed at McGill University, Archie started
life as an indexed directory of files from archives. However, Archie is a
slow boy, and his findings depend on how well maintained the Archie server
he connects to is. Found files are retrieved using ftp (file transfer
protocol). |
