A software program that is used to contact and obtain data from a server software program on another computer, often across a great distance.
Each client program is designed to work with one or more specific kinds of server programs, and each server requires a specific kind of client. This relationship between the "client" and the "server" is often referred to as a "client server relationship." A web browser and an FTP program are specific kinds of clients.
