Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP) A {protocol} defined in {RFC} 977 for the distribution, inquiry, retrieval and posting of {Usenet} {news} articles over the {Internet}. It is designed to be used between a {news reader} {client} such as {nn} or {GNUS} and a news {server}. It is normally used on a connection to {TCP} {port} 119 on the news {server}. NNTP is a simple {ASCII} text protocol so even if you don't have a news reader program, you can just connect to the server using {telnet}: telnet news 119 where news is the name of your server (e.g. news.doc.ic.ac.uk). Typing HELP will give a list of other commands. | |
