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.
No. ASP and ASP.NET are issues of a web server, not an ftp server.
Yes, we can host multiple web sites on single web server and only one FTP server per IP address. They just use different ports.
FTP server is a service you install onto the server to download and manage files remotely. FTP Stands for File Transfer Protocol so it's logic basically. An FTP client allows you to connect to the FTP server on the 21 port (In most cases) to download, upload, delete, rename, change permissions of files remotely.
FTP
Web sites are (up) loaded to the server using an FTP program designed for that purpose. Many FTP programs, such as Core FTP, also offer editing and file transfer tools to use on the server too.
I use ftp to copy/edit files on a remote server that hosts a website
a Web server or FTP location

First, you need an FTP program. FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol, and FTP programs enable you to upload and download files between remote and local computers. They may also enable you to create and modify HTML, PHP, CSS, and other web files. An example of a professional FTP/web design program is Adobe Dreamweaver. Once you've acquired an FTP program, you'll need to obtain access to your web host's server. You'll need your host's web address, a login name, and a login password. You can obtain those by contacting your web host.
Web-based FTP is a method of transferring files over the internet using a web browser, rather than traditional FTP client software. It allows users to upload, download, and manage files on a server through a graphical interface, making it more accessible for those who may not be familiar with FTP protocols. This approach typically involves a web application that communicates with the FTP server, providing a user-friendly experience without the need for additional software installation.
Https is a more secure. Http is not necessarily secure at all. FTP is used to connect to a file server while HTTP connects to a web server.
To upload a Java Tomcat web application via FTP, first, package your application into a WAR (Web Application Archive) file. Next, connect to your server using an FTP client (like FileZilla) with your server's FTP credentials. Once connected, navigate to the Tomcat webapps directory on the server and upload the WAR file there. After the upload completes, Tomcat will automatically deploy the application, making it accessible via the configured URL.
