FAQ
Before you ask a question that has been asked a million times before, try to locate the Frequently Asked Questions. In my classroom there is no such thing as a  stupid question. On the other hand, Internet is not as tolerant.

flame
Angry messages are called flames. If you plan on ignoring netiquette or not reading FAQs, you better don your flame proof suit, because you  are bound to have a few flames sent your way.

ftp
Files are transfered from computer to computer using File Transfer Protocol. You can use dedicated ftp software to transfer files, but as a web user and a newbie  you'll probably use your web browser, and may not even realize that you are doing it.

FYI
This is another Internet shortcut that means For Your Information.
