Conventionally, an HTTP server listens on port 80. Regardless of the brand of web server that you are running, the server will typically listen for HTTP traffic on port 80 and HTTPS traffic on port 443.
A set of rules that defines how pages transfer on the Internet is called an Internet protocol. Examples include HTTP, FTP and SMTP.
Such a "set of rules" is called a "protocol". The protocol in this specific case is called HTTP.
FTP is File Transfer Protocol. It is the protocol used on the internet when you upload files or download files. So for example, if you create a webpage and you want to upload it to your webspace, you need to use an FTP program. There are lots of good one out there. If you use Firefox, you can get an add-on called FireFTP. You would need to get the details of where to connect to in order to get access to your webspace. You will get those on your internet providers webspace. You then set the appropriate settings in the FTP program to enable the connection to be made.
FTP is used by servers, not personal computers. You can have a FTP on your personal computer, but you will need software and programs to do this. If you don't have the right programs then you don't have a FTP. There are some links on how to set up a FTP below. If your new to this you might want to use Windows XP to set up a server, and if your serious then use Windows Server 2003 or 2008. http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=1491 | http://lifehacker.com/software/home-server/how-to-set-up-a-home-ftp-server-130806.php

A computer/server and software(s). Use a computer to download Filezilla's server, set it up and bingo, you have a FTP. There are more advanced things to do by creating a FTP but the only things you need to specified above.
The default FTP port is 21. But most FTP server software allows you to set which ever port you want.
FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. FTP is used to create a file server known as an FTP server which is a location created on the web that allows banks of files to be hosted/made available for download. Many file sharing services are set up in this manner.
IIS (Internet Information Services) 6.0 is the version of IIS that shipped with Windows Server 2003. IIS is a set of servers (such as HTTP and FTP) developed by Microsoft. IIS is the second most popular web server application after Apache.
== == Either the server or your FTP program is probably set to time out and disconnect you after 15 minutes of "inactivity." Check the server settings on your FTP program. If the problem isn't there, contact your ISP. In addition, you should also enable "PASSV."
FTP, or File Transfer Protocol, allows you to upload documents or files to an FTP server for sharing, remote access, or file transferring. You can either set up your own computer to be and FTP server or you can use a third party FTP hosting service. You will also want software that will work with the FTP server and your local host to easily transfer files. I recommend a couple different solutions for that. Classic FTP: This software is very functional and allows all the FTP commands you need, such as manual uploading, synchronizing, and viewing local and remote servers. Fling FTP: This is a totally new approach to FTP. It is very automated, which makes it really easy to back up files or upload any changes to the remote server. It is a innovation to FTP, without a doubt. You can also work on it manually too so really I suggest everyone try this software, as you aren't losing any functions, just gaining a ton.
Binary mode uses eight bits per byte.
FTP is an abbreviation of File Transfer ProtocolIt is a set of standard transmission rules found on most computers which enable the transfer of files between two connected computers, normally across the internet these days.
FTP is a simple network protocol based on Internet protocol and also a term used when referring to the process of copying files when using FTP technology. To transfer files with FTP, you use a program often called the "client." The FTP client program initiates a connection to a remote computer running FTP "server" software. After the connection is established, the client can choose to send and/or receive copies of files, singly or in groups. To connect to an FTP server, a client requires a username and password as set by the administrator of the server. Many public FTP archives follow a special convention for that accepts a username of "anonymous." Simple FTP clients are included with most network operating systems, but most of these clients (such as FTP.EXE on Windows) support a relatively unfriendly command-line interface. Many alternative freeware / shareware third-party FTP clients have been developed that support graphic user interfaces (GUIs) and additional convenience features. In any FTP interface, clients identify the FTP server either by its Ip address (such as 192.168.0.1) or by its host name. FTP supports two modes of data transfer: plain text (ASCII), and binary. You set the mode in the FTP client. A common error when using FTP is attempting to transfer a binary file (such as a program or music file) while in text mode, causing the transfered file to be unusable.
Telnet is a network protocol used on the Internet or local area networks. Its concept was conceived in 1969 and is one of the first internet standards for communicating across computers. FTP - File Transfer Protocol is similar to Telnet but does not require is much knowledge of command line usage. FTP is used to create a file server known as an FTP server which is a location created on the web that allows banks of files to be hosted/made available for download. Many file sharing services are set up in this manner.
