What is the difference between FTP and telnet?
375294
Telnet is a terminal emulation software that dupes an end system into thinking the remote device is directly connected. This allows access to a command line interface of one type or another. There are many different terminal emulation types that are used by each different telnet server.\n\nFTP is a file transfer protocol that allows for the transfer of ascii or binary files between two devices. FTP actually uses many of the same protocols as telnet.

I think that is the primary difference between pro and home.  Home doesn't allow for networking.  It is standalone only.\n\nYou could try to set up an FTP server inside your router  for file transfers, that at least, should work.

Whoa! A lot of questions and no easy answers. Okay, let me take this one step at a time.\n\nFTP stands for "file transfer protocol," the language used for sending files from one computer to another across the Internet. FTP is the accepted method for uploading web pages to serves because it is generally fast and easy.\n\nIn order to publish your site, you must have a server on which to host it. As server hardware and operating costs tend to be pretty expensive, most people choose to pay a company a monthly fee to host their site. The typical fee for a small amount of space on a server is $14.99 (USD) per month, but this varies from service to service. Also, many Internet providers grant their users a small amount of server space for hosting a site for no additional charge (as part of the service package).\n\nOnce you have a server, they can usually provide you with detailed instructions on how to upload your site. Most servers permit FTP transfers, and there are some good free FTP programs out there (I use and highly recommend Core FTP, as it is easy to setup and use).\n\nAs for why they want your e-mail, it could be any number of reasons, but probably so they have a means by which to contact you if you need help or violate terms of service.

if you wanna make sure, just open a command window and type "telnet <ip address>" \n\nreplace <ip address> with the ip address of whatever you're telnetting to. Your firewall should immediately stop the telnet session.

Right, it gets complicated because line speeds and file sizes are measured in 2 different ways. File sizes are kilo(1024)bytes and line speed are kilo(1000)bits(8 bits in a byte). It really makes line speeds sound faster than they actually are. But there's but 1mbps = 1000kbps if that's all you're asking. Be aware there's always some overhead, getting 90% of your rated line speed is about perfect.

Its involved to note the differences and necessary support from you ISP's and who supports them so lets go with modem teaming  since any computer and Internet user can employ this technique to almost double the bandwidth. Under this technology, the modems work as separate connections and take advantage of the "smart download" capability that most HTTP and FTP servers use. However, using modem teaming you would need some special software to combine the bandwidth of two modem. Some of the good software available is Modem teamer and Midpoint companion available at www.midpoint.com and Sygate Office Network is also available at http://soho.sygate.com/products/access_ov.htm.\n\nBoth these products are good and offer good results for the end users. You can try this software for a limited period by downloading from their respective sites and can see the results in your specific case. Modem teaming is now successful and has come of age. Modem teaming has its own advantages and disadvantages. The biggest advantage of modem teaming is that you can combine as many analog modems you want and can boost the bandwidth of your Internet connection considerably.\n\nHowever, the biggest limitations attached to modem teaming is that it is not flexible if one modem should disconnect nor is it useful when downloading streaming multimedia or conducting continuous sessions such as Telnet or PCAnywhere.

Before you continue to set up an ftp server on your computer you will need to get a static IP address.\nwithout it your users will no be able to access your server.

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.

How to set up a home FTP server\nREAD MORE: FTP, Feature, Home server, Top \n \nby Matt Haughey\n\nIf you’ve been following the the Lifehacker Home Server Series of articles, you know how to do things like reach your home computer from anywhere in the world thanks to dynamic DNS services. Gina wrote about how to set up a personal home web server, but in my experience the killer home server feature that hasn’t been covered to date is how to set up a personal FTP server at home. \n\nA home FTP server is useful to anyone who wants to save and retrieve files on their computer from anywhere. Ever forget a Word document on your home desktop that you really need at work? Ever download a PDF that explains how to fix something at work and you realize too late you left it at home that morning? If you have a personal FTP server, and you can reach your computer from any place on earth, your files will never be captive on your hard drive at home again.\n\nMy home FTP server has saved me on many occasions. Sometimes it’s when I’m on a business trip and need an extra file left at home, most often it’s when I’m in the office and didn’t remember to bring files I worked on at home. By far my best FTP story is from a few years ago, when my wife was giving a reading at a wedding. A couple hours before the ceremony, we realized we left the poem sitting in the tray of my printer at home. We sped to my nearby office, I FTP’d to my desktop, got the Word doc downloaded and printed it there, which we took to the wedding with time to spare. My home FTP server saved the day. \n\nThe main advantage of a home FTP server over a web server is that you can save files to the server, whereas with a web server, you can only get files. The disadvantage of a home FTP server is that you need an FTP client to connect to it, whereas web servers can be accessed using a plain old web browser. However, many modern web browsers support the FTP protocol. Instead of prefacing the URL with http://, use ftp://. That said, most web browsers make crappy FTP clients. You should use a more fully-featured FTP client to conect to your server like SmartFTP or WS_FTP wherever possible. \n\nLet’s get started. \n\nWhat you’ll need: \n\nA Windows PC \nAn always-on broadband (DSL or cable) internet connection \nStep 1: Download and install Serv-U FTP \n\nServ-U FTP is a nice windows FTP server app that has a simple to use interface. It’s been around for years — I’ve used it since 1997 and it works flawlessly. The newest version adds more security through SSL support and the best part of all is that the personal version which allows for two FTP logins is completely free. \n\nNow, don’t get confused because they have several levels of pricing and several editions, but you can download a single package from here that includes all versions. Once installed, you will have a “corporate edition” that after thirty days will become the “personal edition.” If you follow along this tutorial, you won’t be using any special features so you shouldn’t see anything change once the application reverts to the free version. And by all means, if you decide to use this on a machine at work, make your employer pay for a license, but as long as this is on your home computer, free personal use is fine. \n\nStep 2: Complete setup and create a user login \n\nAfter the initial setup is done, Serv-U should start the administrator and ask you to create a new user account. Start off by first putting in the domain name you used to setup your dynamic DNS. The names I’m using in these figures are for demonstration purposes.\n\ngo to this link for more: http://www.lifehacker.com/software/home-server/how-to-set-up-a-home-ftp-server-130806.php

Download is when you copy something from "the internet"\ndown to your home network.\n\nUpload is when you send something from home back out.\n\nIt's common for many home network solutions (ie. DSL)\nto support faster downloads than uploads.

The correct answer is HTML - HyperText Markup Language\n\nFTP is File Transfer Protocol (port 21) - used for transferring files.\nHTTP is HyperText Transfer Protocol (port 80) - used to convey info to the web.\nI've never heard of URT, no idea what that is sorry.

Telnet is a user command and an underlying TCP/IP protocol for accessing remote computers unfortunately, telnet is inherently insecure. When you initiate a telnet connection, your username, password and other bits of important information are broadcast in cleartext -- visible to anyone located between your computer and the intended server destination. Regardless of where and how you're online, if you use telnet, you're putting your vital data at risk

lan (local area connection) means a network jack.  Dual means you have two.  gigabit means the transfer rate is upto one gigabit per second.

First you need to know th differnce. To understand the difference between a router and a switch you need to understand the ISO model.\n\nISO/OSI Network Model\nThe standard model for networking protocols and distributed applications is the International Standard Organization's Open System Interconnect (ISO/OSI) model. It defines seven network layers. \n\nLayer 1 - Physical \nPhysical layer defines the cable or physical medium itself, e.g., thinnet, thicknet, unshielded twisted pairs (UTP). All media are functionally equivalent. The main difference is in convenience and cost of installation and maintenance. Converters from one media to another operate at this level. \n\nLayer 2 - Data Link \nData Link layer defines the format of data on the network. A network data frame, aka packet, includes checksum, source and destination address, and data. The largest packet that can be sent through a data link layer defines the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU). The data link layer handles the physical and logical connections to the packet's destination, using a network interface. A host connected to an Ethernet would have an Ethernet interface to handle connections to the outside world, and a loopback interface to send packets to itself. \n\nEthernet addresses a host using a unique, 48-bit address called its Ethernet address or Media Access Control (MAC) address. MAC addresses are usually represented as six colon-separated pairs of hex digits, e.g., 8:0:20:11:ac:85. This number is unique and is associated with a particular Ethernet device. Hosts with multiple network interfaces should use the same MAC address on each. The data link layer's protocol-specific header specifies the MAC address of the packet's source and destination. When a packet is sent to all hosts (broadcast), a special MAC address (ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff) is used. \n\nLayer 3 - Network \nNFS uses Internetwork Protocol (IP) as its network layer interface. IP is responsible for routing, directing datagrams from one network to another. The network layer may have to break large datagrams, larger than MTU, into smaller packets and host receiving the packet will have to reassemble the fragmented datagram. The Internetwork Protocol identifies each host with a 32-bit IP address. IP addresses are written as four dot-separated decimal numbers between 0 and 255, e.g., 129.79.16.40. The leading 1-3 bytes of the IP identify the network and the remaining bytes identifies the host on that network. The network portion of the IP is assigned by InterNIC Registration Services, under the contract to the National Science Foundation, and the host portion of the IP is assigned by the local network administrators, locally by noc@indiana.edu. For large sites, usually subnetted like ours, the first two bytes represents the network portion of the IP, and the third and fourth bytes identify the subnet and host respectively. \n\nEven though IP packets are addressed using IP addresses, hardware addresses must be used to actually transport data from one host to another. The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is used to map the IP address to it hardware address. \n\nLayer 4 - Transport \nTransport layer subdivides user-buffer into network-buffer sized datagrams and enforces desired transmission control. Two transport protocols, Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP), sits at the transport layer. Reliability and speed are the primary difference between these two protocols. TCP establishes connections between two hosts on the network through 'sockets' which are determined by the IP address and port number. TCP keeps track of the packet delivery order and the packets that must be resent. Maintaining this information for each connection makes TCP a stateful protocol. UDP on the other hand provides a low overhead transmission service, but with less error checking. NFS is built on top of UDP because of its speed and statelessness. Statelessness simplifies the crash

SmartFTP is just an FTP client.  All it can do is upload/download files from an FTP server.  \n\nIf you want to build a website, you'll have to get a web host (free or pay-for).  They'll provide you with their FTP server (typically ftp.server.com where "server.com" is the domain of the web hosting company) as well as an FTP account.  Then you can take your *.htm (or whatever) files and upload them to FTP server using SmartFTP.  Just enter the server address, port (99% of the time it's "21"), username/password and connect.  Then it's just a matter of dragging and dropping from your local folders on the left to the server folders on the right.

Both support TCP/IP which you are using now. Set up each computer with an address on the same subnet.
