FTP: The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) sends data over a reliable connection. This protocol can be used to send, delete, and move files to and from an FTP server and client.\n\nSMTP: The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol is the messaging or e-mail transfer protocol. This protocol allows mail to be transferred on TCP/IP networks, including the Internet.\n\nDNS: The Domain Name System service provides TCP/IP host name to IP address resolution. \n\nHTTP: The World Wide Web uses the Hypertext Transfer Protocol.  This protocol allows you to connect your computer to other computers on the Internet.

Real file format is tough to convert.  I have old convertor that can do it but they are not available in the Web world anymore.  I kept one of my pc running Windows 2000 because of that.

Many times, your ISP provider will give you limited storage space in which you can upload files through an ftp client.  You can make a simple web page that can link to download your files from any computer in the world.  OR you can just get on anywhere in the world, download another ftp client and then go to your space your ISP provider has given you and download the files directly.

Mail attachments, file sharing using MSN,Yahoo..... take much time & it also depends on the file size.\n    Better to zip thy file and then upload it any FTP sites like megaupload.com and u will get the URL of the uploaded file, just give this URL to the one whom u want to send the file. On placing this URL in any browser u could download the file easily.

FTP stands for file transfer protocol. It is one of the oldest ways of transfering files on a computer. \n\nFTP is not used much any more except by web hosting companies. The only reason hosting companies still use FTP is that Microsoft still insists on not including SSH/SCP with Windows and most Windows users don't know about SSH/SCP. \n\nThe reasons why nobody uses FTP if they can help it are. First it transfers your user name and password in the clear. That means anybody who is between you and the FTP user and or the site you are connecting to with FTP can get your user name and password just by listening.  FTP has no real error correction and it has no compression. So it is slower and far less reliable. \n\nUsing SCP for file transfers is as easy as using FTP. SCP however uses encryption for user names and passwords. SCP has better error correction and has compression. So it is more reliable, more secure and faster than FTP. \n\nAll you need to run FTP or host SCP file transfers is a server and to open the appropriate port in your firewall. \nFor SSH/SCP it is 22. For FTP it is 20 and 21. You want to support both active and passive FTP. \n\nThe difference between Active and Passive FTP is which end opens the second connection. In all FTP connections first the client contacts the server and tells them that they want to connect by FTP. Next in Active FTP the server will open a second port back to the client for the actual file transfer while Passive FTP the client is who opens this port to put it in a simplified way. I've included a link with a good deffinition on the difference between active and passive FTP. \n\nI strongly recomend using SSH/SCP rather than FTP. I've included links for SSH/SCP rather than FTP. I've also included a link to WinSCP which is an excellent client for both FTP and SCP transfers. \n\nIf you use Linux, FreeBSD, Unix or a Mac(and installed the sys utils) you already have an FTP server installed on your machine. You only need to configure your firewall. With the Mac you'll have to download SSH I believe. Other than that the other OS's come with SSH already installed.

Below are some simple examples of how to send "stream" data from a client and a server using the TIdTCPClient and TIdTCPServer components.  Each connection on the server is an item in the server's Binding property.  Hopefully this helps.\n\nprocedure SendFromClient(Client: TIdTCPClient; Value: string);\nvar\n  ssOut: TStringStream;\nbegin\n  ssOut := TStringStream.Create('This is a string stream.');\n  try\n    IdTCPClient1.WriteStream(ssOut);\n  finally\n    ssOut.Free;\n  end;\nend;\n\nprocedure SendFromServer(Server: TIdTCPSever; Stream: TStream);\nvar\n  Buffer: PChar;\nbegin\n  GetMem(Buffer, Stream.Size);\n  try\n    Stream.Write(Buffer[0], Stream.Size)\n    Server.Bindings[0].Send(Buffer[0], Length(Value) + 1, 0);\n  finally\n    FreeMem(Buffer, Stream.Size);\n  end;\nend;\n\nSorry, noticed a mistake...corrected.

FTP (File Transfer Protocol)\nHTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) (or maybe not )\n\nin http u see those interfaces and text and images lined up in tables and so on\nftp is just plain files\nhttp use links and u can save their targets\nbut if u r gonna use just plain files and u just get in and take the file u should use ftp why?\n\nIt's more flexible..It's like u r browsing ur files u can copy/paste the files anywhere quickly with the same way u would if u copy files from My Documents to Desktop\nand choose multiple files and......etc\n\nIt's just that u r browsing files with ur explorer (not internet explorer but folder explorer)\n\nits problem is that u need to know where to go...as u will see no text that tells u "If u want X click here"\nmany people use folder names as long sentences to guide u as they are the only text u can see..

FTP = File Transfer Protocol. TFTP = Trivial File Transfer Protocol. TFTP is just a more basic file transfer protocol with less functionality. It can be written much smaller and faster than FTP, but is less robust.

A client ftp would be the actual software you use to upload or download to the ftp server. The ftp server would actually be the host of the files that your are downloading, sort of like storage. Yes two clients can exchange files via ftp. This is similiar to the file tranfer function in yahoo messenger. I cant confirm if that uses ftp though more than likely its just a direct connection.

Here is one way to do it... although I prefer to do the uploads on my site with the php FTP functions (shown below).\n\n$uploaddir = '/var/www/uploads/';\n$uploadfile = $uploaddir . basename($_FILES['userfile']['name']);\n\nif (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {\n   echo "File is valid, and was successfully uploaded.&#92;n";\n\n\n----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nFTP--\n\n<?php\n// set up basic connection\n$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server); \n\n// login with username and password\n$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user_name, $ftp_user_pass); \n\n// check connection\nif ((!$conn_id) || (!$login_result)) { \n       echo "FTP connection has failed!";\n       echo "Attempted to connect to $ftp_server for user $ftp_user_name"; \n       exit; \n   } else {\n       echo "Connected to $ftp_server, for user $ftp_user_name";\n   }\n\n// upload the file\n$upload = ftp_put($conn_id, $destination_file, $source_file, FTP_BINARY); \n\n// check upload status\nif (!$upload) { \n       echo "FTP upload has failed!";\n   } else {\n       echo "Uploaded $source_file to $ftp_server as $destination_file";\n   }\n\n// close the FTP stream \nftp_close($conn_id); \n?>\n} else {\n   echo "File upload failed!&#92;n";\n}
