FTP Software
Lets assume that you have created a web site for yourself, and you have seventy-five web pages that you want to display to people. Instead of copying all of the files to disks and manually placing the files on the Web Server, you could open an FTP client, find the Web Server, navigate to the directory where you need to place the files, and then upload the files.
Thus, FTP is simply used:
- to download a file from a server using the Internet, or
-
to upload a file to a server (e.g. uploading a web page file to a Server).
Desktop Sharing & Remote Access
Desktop Sharing enables the administrators to connect and control remote Windows desktops in the LAN and WAN. Accessing computers at a remote location in WAN can be either through VPN or through Internet. It is a web-based tool enabling access from anywhere in the LAN without requiring any native client. It allows almost all operations to be performed on the remote desktop.
Email Clients
An email client, email reader, or more formally mail user agent (MUA), is a computer program used to manage a user's email.
The term can refer to any system capable of accessing the user's email mailbox, regardless of it being a mail user agent, a relaying server, or a human typing on a terminal. In addition, a web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions is sometimes also considered an email client, but more commonly referred to as webmail.
