File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol In computing, a protocol is a set of rules which is used by computers to communicate with each other across a network. A protocol is a convention or standard that controls or enables the connection, communication, and data transfer between computing endpoints. In its simplest form, a protocol can be defined as the rules governing the syntax, used to exchange and manipulate files over an Internet Protocol The Internet Protocol is a protocol used for communicating data across a packet-switched internetwork using the Internet Protocol Suite, also referred to as TCP/IP computer network, such as the Internet The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standardized Internet Protocol Suite . It is a network of networks that consists of millions of private and public, academic, business, and government networks of local to global scope that are linked by copper wires, fiber-optic cables, wireless connections, and. FTP is built on a client-server Client-server computing or networking is a distributed application architecture that partitions tasks or work loads between service providers and service requesters, called clients. Often clients and servers operate over a computer network on separate hardware. A server machine is a high-performance host that is running one or more server programs architecture and utilizes separate control and data connections between the client and server applications. Client applications were originally interactive command-line tools with a standardized command syntax, but graphical user interfaces have been developed for all desktop operating systems in use today. FTP is also often used as an application component to automatically transfer files for program internal functions. FTP can be used with user-based password authentication or with anonymous user access.

The Internet Protocol Suite The Internet Protocol Suite is the set of communications protocols used for the Internet and other similar networks. It is named from two of the most important protocols in it: the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the Internet Protocol (IP), which were the first two networking protocols defined in this standard.

What is the difference between a .com and a .org or .net site?
Q. why these particular endings? why not .aaa .aab .aac ... .zzy .zzz? and why specifically www.or nothing why not ww. or w. I know that http means hyper text transfer protocol and ftp means file transfer protocol. are there any other protocols? or things that would go before ://?

A. Originally, when DNS was being designed, .com was for commercial entities, .net was for network providers and .org as for non-profit organizations. These are called top level domains (or TLDs.) There were three other original TLDs, .gov (government]), .edu (schools, universities) and .mil (military). They've since added many more, .tv, .biz, .name, .info, as well as a boat-load of country-specific designations. The only ones that actually still mean anything are .gov/.edu/.mil, you have prove you qualify to register a domain under any of those.. The rest don't really mean a thing anymore, other than that .com is by far the most desirable -- it's ubiquitous. As for www, that is strictly a matter of common convention, when you… [cont.]
