HTTP and FTP Traffic

The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is the set of rules for exchanging files (text, graphic images, sound, video, and other multimedia files) between computers on the World Wide Web. File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is the simplest way to exchange files between computers on the Internet. FTP is commonly used to transfer Web page files from their creator to the computer that acts as their server for everyone on the Internet. It's also commonly used to download programs and other files to your computer from other servers. By enabling both HTTP and FTP traffic on your Web site, we give you an easy way to transfer necessary information to and from the site.
