page 1 of 1

I've been using lots of P2Ps eversince I had my broadband connection. The last download form I heard was peer 2 mail, but it was only yesterday that I found out of an FTP download. My seach in the net was unsatisfactory, so I guess I have to seek enlightenment here. Thanks guys!

it's an download using the File Transfer Protocol...it's like the same thing as HTTP


ps....are u doing w4r3z with p2p? ( that's illegal u know? )

you download content from FTP using an FTP manager like cuteftp, wsftp etc. after you connected to the server, there'll be a tree list-like windows explorer where you can browse all the files inside and download it to your local computer by simply drag and drop it

HTTP and FTP are different protocols for transfering different types of files. FTP simply refers to accessing an FTP server to download or upload files. It's one of the underlying protocols used across the web for uploading content and downloading non-HTTP style files (although this has changed as of late).

yeh! FTP and HTTP are two difference things! and FTP usually have faster connection compare to HTTP
