Yes. Three examples are:

  • HTTP - HyperText Transfer Protocol (used to transfer web pages)
  • FTP - File Transfer Protocol (as it says)
  • SMTP - Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (supports some functions of the email system)

These are all service layer protocols. Underpinning these are transport layer protocols, principally

  • TCP - Transport Control Protocol (used for most services)
  • UDP - User Datagram Protocol (used for services and internal internet mechanisms that favor unimpeded delivery over assurance, order, and/or control of data flow)

There are layers of protocol below this; the immediate one is the internetwork layer, which allows the higher layers to work seamlessly over multiple interconnected network media such as WiFi, Ethernet, optical fiber, etc. Below that are the protocols that correspond to the specific media.

What is the protocol used to transfer files over the internet?

A modem only transmits the data, the computer uses a protocol to connect to the ISP. Different types of protocol exist, but I think you're probably thinking of FTP - File Transfer Protocol. If the modem is used to connect to an ISP for an internet connection, than the standard internet protocols and utilities can be used for file transfer. They include ftp, sftp, http and the wget command. If the modem is used to establish a serial connection such as a terminal emulation session, protocols like kermit and xmodem/ymodem/zmodem should be available that perform errorfree file transfers.
