Basic Computer Network Principles In a networked computing environment, a main computer system, called a SERVER, serves software and files to workstations that are connected to it. These workstations can be your home PC or the PC’s in our labs here on campus and throughout Rutgers.41

File Transfer Protocol (FTP)FTP stands for “File Transfer Protocol”. It is the way to transfer files over the Internet from one computer to another. For most users, this means transferring files from a local computer to a server and back again. Every student is given space on the EDEN Server for file storage. SSH software is already installed on the SC&I lab workstations.42
