Hi, I know what FTP stands for and I've used it to transfer files from a server to my own PC and vice-versa, but what are FTP sites??? For example, I want to set up a small intranet site over a server and somebody asked me if I mean an FTP site. I don't know what that means!!

Simply: FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol, as you know. This is the protocol best suited for transferring files over the Internet. If that is what your site will be used for, then set it up as an FTP site. HTTP, on the other hand, stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol. It is the protocol used by your browser (IE Netscape, etc.) to view files of the .htm or .html type. So, whereas you use a browser to visit your HTTP sites, you would use an application such as ftp.exe to visit your FTP sites. But you will not be able to view html pages via FTP, only download them. So it really depends on exactly how you want to set up your site. Go to this site to see a brief explanation. Good luck!

heh, this is an easy one. Lets say this is your FTP info. Ip address: 100.10.10.10 Port: 24 Login: james password: dong The FTP Site would look like this: ftp://james:dong@100.10.10.10:24 so you don't really have to type all that inside a ftp program to access the ftp. you can use a internet browser and type that site i gave you and it will do the same thing. the only sad thing is if your browser doesn't support resume then it cant resume anything. hope this helped. -------- E-Mail: osp1keo@yahoo.com Webpage: http://www.geocities.com/osp1keo
