Some of the services that the URL uses include: FTP, E-mail, Usenet news, and HTTP.

FTP

Millions of files are accessible throughout the Net via FTP. An FTP URL is of the following form:

    ftp://host/directory-path
The most valuable thing about FTP URLs are that, if you specify a directory, most Web browsers list the files in that directory, and with a "click" you can either transfer files you want or move into other directories to continue browsing.

An example: 

    ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/
