Hi Sally
Telnet is a tcp/ip based terminal emulation program. You can open a session
on remote hosts and perform actions directly as would you sit in front of
the machine working with a console window.
Ftp (file transfer protocol) is just one of the dozens of protocols that
exist in the tcp/ip protocol suite. The front-end applications that help to
transfer files using a GUI are often confused with the protocol itself, that
just defines how the data is transported on the network
