The File Transfer Protocol is a standard network protocol used for the transfer of computer files from a server to a client on a computer network. FTP is built on a client-server model architecture using separate control and data connections between the client and the server
There is no single protocol used between a server and a client; the protocol depends on what the server and client are doing and how they are currently communicating.
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is used for transferring files between an FTP client and an FTP server.
A File Transfer Protocol works on a client-server architecture and uses separate control and data connections between the server and the client. FTPs are used in businesses and government agencies world-wide.
File Transfer Protocol
The FTP client initiates the transfer of data when using a passive data connection. It requires two connections between client and server.
Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure. Basically, it's a secured encrypted communication between the client and the web server, to be able to transfer data safely.
Remote Desktop Protocol
Two completely different purposes. FTP (file transfer protocol) servers are designed to transfer files between server and client. Web servers only serve webpages using the HTTP protocol to a web browser, or any remote terminal program that are capable of sending HTTP requests.
Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure [HTTPS]
A client cannot see what a server is doing; the only thing that can be monitored by the client is the data communication between the client and the server. If the client needs to see what is going on in the server then the client needs to connect to the server using remote desktop protocol, Terminal Services, telnet, or some other way to directly connect to the server.
HTTP (web traffic) may be used in either peer to peer networks or client server networks. Either way, it is the same protocol. It is used to transmit a browser request to a web server or to transfer a page from a web server to a client browser.
