She used to talk about using the one and only DARPA protocol called FTP, which was all there was in those days. FTP was used to list things and send files back and forth between computers, we are talking 1930's and 40's here so we are talking old school. For an example of what she was talking about try ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub this site is all FTP and that's it. You ant to talk about old school internet april hair, this is it.
