What's the difference between peer-to-peer and client/server?
402279
In a sense peer to peer is built from the client server model.  The main difference is there servers don't have fixed IP's and there can be multiple servers for one source file.

Client/server describes the relationship between two computer programs in which one program, the client, makes a service request from another program, the server, which fulfills the request. Although the client/server idea can be used by programs within a single computer, it is a more important idea in a network. In a network, the client/server model provides a convenient way to interconnect programs that are distributed efficiently across different locations. Computer transactions using the client/server model are very common. For example, to check your bank account from your computer, a client program in your computer forwards your request to a server program at the bank. That program may in turn forward the request to its own client program that sends a request to a database server at another bank computer to retrieve your account balance. The balance is returned back to the bank data client, which in turn serves it back to the client in your personal computer, which displays the information for you. \nThe client/server model has become one of the central ideas of network computing. Most business applications being written today use the client/server model. So does the Internet's main program, TCP/IP. In marketing, the term has been used to distinguish distributed computing by smaller dispersed computers from the "monolithic" centralized computing of mainframe computers. But this distinction has largely disappeared as mainframes and their applications have also turned to the client/server model and become part of network computing. \n\nIn the usual client/server model, one server, sometimes called a daemon, is activated and awaits client requests. Typically, multiple client programs share the services of a common server program. Both client programs and server programs are often part of a larger program or application. Relative to the Internet, your Web browser is a client program that requests services (the sending of Web pages or files) from a Web server (which technically is called a Hypertext Transport Protocol or HTTP server) in another computer somewhere on the Internet. Similarly, your computer with TCP/IP installed allows you to make client requests for files from File Transfer Protocol (FTP) servers in other computers on the Internet.

use and ftp for faster uploading\n\n:> peace

Search Google for P2P software. That itself is legal. What you do with the software is YOUR responsibility.

Best bet would be to check the p2p networks and do a search.\n\nEnjoy

I think you might mean P2P (Peer-To-Peer) and the answer is yes.

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.

Most download from p2p sites.  Often referred to simply as peer-to-peer, or abbreviated P2P, a type of network in which each workstation has equivalent capabilities and responsibilities. This differs from client/server architectures, in which some computers are dedicated to serving the others. Peer-to-peer networks are generally simpler, but they usually do not offer the same performance under heavy loads. If I may, I recomend http://www.limewire.com/english/content/home.shtml When configuring this p2p software I highly recomend that you don't allow limewire to scan your computer for files to share. Also recomend that you disable any sharing features. To locate these features you will find them under the tool, options catagorie. There are people that maintain ftp sites as well.  Short for File Transfer Protocol, the protocol for exchanging files over the Internet. FTP works in the same way as HTTP for transferring Web pages from a server to a user's browser and SMTP for transferring electronic mail across the Internet in that, like these technologies, FTP uses the Internet's TCP/IP protocols to enable data transfer.\n\nFTP is most commonly used to download a file from a server using the Internet or to upload a file to a server (e.g., uploading a Web page file to a server). However, finding someone you can trust that has a ftp site is diffucult and not to mention risky. Both p2p and ftp are a risky venture theses days because of the copy right laws invoked last year. You may be able to locate individuals with ftp site in yahoo chat, msn chat etc. I don't recomend it but many do. Hope this gives you a better perspective. Good Luck!

Are you using a tracker site? \n\nYour client will connect to other peers if there are any there. You should forward a port (router settings) for your computer and then tell the client to use that port.\n\nThe client should somewhere tell how many seeders and leachers there are in the swarm of the torrent, if there are none, then it won't work.

hi dear \nclient is a computer which access data from server \na server can have many clients but a client can have a single server \nyes many computer can b attached using host & guest options\nbut client server is something like a office in which all employee are doing different work in parts  on a same work & all will b tied & made a complete work on a server \nbye & take care...........

For 2 computers to communicate they must have a 'handshake".  Peer2Peer (P2P), generally use a cable, and networks use cables too for communication.  In the P2P communication they 'establish rules of how to talk' from one to the other.  These are simple rules, long ago established.  With the Network Server communication the Administrator establishes the rules.  These known in the trade as security parameters...like what type of password if any is needed to communicate from one computer to another and the complexity of that password... when it will expire...use of mixed case letters, numbers, and symbols....  Because the server is actually a computer just sitting there most to the time it can be set to establish many more 'rules' (protocal) of how to handshake between computers as well as monitor the communications.

Yes, it just depends on what the client is connecting to, and what the server is servicing.  For example every network server that is on the Internet, is a client to the ISP's network. But it is a local server to the LAN.

P to P (also called P2P) file sharing stands for peer to peer file sharing.  In the old days of "file sharing" everyone used napster.  And napster was a program that let you access somebody's database of music on a server and download it onto your computer.  When the government came along and said that you can't give stuff away without charging for it, napster's server was shut down.\n\nP2P file sharing came about as a way to go around the whole legal system.  The way it works is two people link their computers together (throught the internet, or a local network) and swap files with each other.  Its kinda like the idea of "whats yours is mine and whats mine is yours".  This is generally okay for simple files that you might create using Word, Excel etc.\n\nWhat the government will get you for is if you get caught sharing copyrighted material such as the latest Red Hot Chilli Peppers cd (which I hear is a really good cd).  The music (and movie) companies think that they are loosing money when people share/download their music and movies with other people.  Thus, they get the government involved and file sharing becomes a big no-no.

u have to know the p2p categories and technologies .. to choose which one u will have work in\n\n2ND .. u have to make two design server and client so u have to search on free program design and read the code and try to upgrade it \n\n\nhttp://www.codeproject.com/\n\nits for many programming language

Thin Client:\nIn client/server applications, a client designed to be especially small so that the bulk of the data processing occurs on the server. \nAlthough the term thin client usually refers to software, it is increasingly used for computers, such as network computers and Net PCs, that are designed to serve as the clients for client/server architectures. A thin client is a network computer without a hard disk drive, whereas a fat client includes a disk drive.\nNetwork Computer:\nAs indictaed above, it has a hard-drive for locally loaded software (and OS) as well as a greater potential for processing power...
