FTP: File Transfer Protocol - Internet protocol (and program) used to transfer files between hosts.

Telnet: The virtual terminal protocol in the Internet suite of protocols. This allows users of one host to log into a remote host and interact as a regular terminal user of that host using command line interface.

URL: A URL is a Uniform Resource Locator. Basically, it's a file or site address. Think of it as a networked extension of the standard filename concept: not only can you point to a file in a directory, but that file and that directory can exist on any machine on the network, can be served via any of several different methods, and might not even be something as simple as a file. URLs can also point to queries, documents stored deep within databases, the results of a finger or archie command, or search.

Usenet: Usenet is a world-wide distributed discussion system. It consists of a set of "newsgroups" with names that are classified hierarchically by subject. "Articles" or "messages" are "posted" to these newsgroups by people on computers with the appropriate software. These articles are then broadcast to other interconnected computer systems.
