Package: fsp (2.81.b24-2)

client utilities for File Service Protocol (FSP)

FSP is an alternative to anonymous FTP. In the words of the developers, ``FSP is what anonymous FTP *should* be''. FSP is a protocol, a bit like FTP, for moving files around. It's designed for anonymous archives, and has protection against server and network overloading. It doesn't use connections, so it can survive things falling over. It's also designed to prevent network congestion, so it can be very nice for large transfers over slow links.
