The Article tells an interesting story of the Author’s first encounter with FTP or File Transfer Protocol. He explains that he was an avid video game collector and wanted a game that he could not reach physically, and did not want to wait for the mail. So the person that he was arranging to get the game from suggested that he downloaded it off his server. The article develops in the evolution of the FTP and the login protocol of users requiring information from the server or updating the servers information. Its a good read if you are interesting in how a browser connects with a server to retrieve data.
