Difference between File transfer protocol and hypertext transfer protocol?
File Transfer Protocol (FTP), a standard Internet protocol, is
the simplest way to exchange files between computers on the
Internet. Like the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), which
transfers displayable Web pages and related files, and the Simple
Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), which transfers e-mail, FTP is an
application protocol that uses the Internet's TCP/IP protocols. FTP
is commonly used to transfer Web page files from their creator to
the computer that acts as their server for everyone on the
Internet. It's also commonly used to download programs and other
files to your computer from other servers.
