This document discusses several common internet protocols: TCP/IP, which governs how data travels between machines across networks and forms the basis for the internet; FTP, which enables file transfers; HTTP, which underlies the world wide web; Telnet, which allows remote login to other computers; and WAIS, an early internet search protocol. Each protocol is defined and its basic function or purpose outlined in 1-2 sentences.

4. INTERNET PROTOCOLS
The most commonly used protocols are:
 Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
 File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
 Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
 Telnet
 Gopher
 Wide Area Information Service (WAIS)

5. TCP/IP
 TCP/ IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet
Protocol.
 TCP/IP is actually a collection of protocols, or rules, that
govern the data travels from one machine to another across
networks.
 The Internet is based on TCP/IP.

6. FTP
 FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol, and is part of the
TCP/IP protocol suite.
 It is the protocol, or set of rules, which enables files to be
transferred between computers.
 FTP is used to uploading and downloading the informations
Example : Filezila

7. HTTP
• HTTP is short for Hypertext Transfer Protocol.
• The World Wide Web encompasses the universe of information
that is available via HTTP.
• To Communicate between the Web Client and Web Server.
Example : http://www.google.com/

8. TELNET
• Telnet is a protocol, or set of rules, that enables one computer
to connect to another computer.
• This process is also referred to as remote login.
Advantages
 File Sharing
 Easy to access

9. WAIS
• WAIS stands for wide area information service.
• WAIS is an Internet search to that is based on the Z39.50
standard.
• WAIS also works on the client/ server principle.
