Just before I heard about the internet, I do remember people on some local BBSes in my area talking about having FTP access at those BBSes and that you could get to a shell and access FTP sites, download some files, then download the files from the BBS.  I remember reading some instructions and getting on a couple of FTP sites (I don't remember where I found them), even though I didn't really know what these FTP sites were.
