people to share information and communicate with each other.
 An intranet, on the other hand, is a local or restricted network that enables
people to store, organize, and share information within an organization.

What do you understand by remote login?

5. What is the purpose of FTP?

FTP is a widely used network protocol for transferring files between computers over a
TCP/IP-based network, such as the Internet. FTP lets people and applications
exchange and share data within their offices and across the Internet. FTP was one of
the first technologies developed to solve this common need, and it remains, with
several generations of enhancements, the second most popular protocol used today
(after HTTP or the "World Wide Web").

Applications of FTP
FTP finds application in many day-to-day business operations that span business-to-
business and peer-to-peer data transfer use cases, including:

 Organizations use FTP to allow employees to share files across different

locations and branch offices.
 Employees use FTP to securely share files with coworkers and external business
partners.
 IT teams use FTP to transfer data back to DR (disaster recovery) sites.
 Webmaster teams use FTP to transfer Web pages, Web application files, and
images to their Web server.

6. Why is internet is called “Network of networks”?

4
 The Internet is called ‘Network of Networks’ because it is a global network of
computers that are linked together by cables and telephone lines making
communication possible among them. It can be defined as a global network over a
million smaller heterogeneous computer networks. • The network which consists of
thousands of networks spanning the entire globe is known as the Internet. • The
Internet is a worldwide collection of networked computers which are able to exchange
information with each other very quickly.

7. Anita works in a Multinational Company and needs to work online from

home also. She therefore requires fast Internet connection. What type of
Internet connection in your view would be best suited for her? Apart from
browsing on the internet, she will be requiring uploading/downloading of
files to/from remote sites. Which protocol will help her to perform this
activity?

8. Sharvan Joshi is a student of Political Science and is a keen researcher of

political issues related to various countries and states. He wants to share his
research and his own opinions on these issues on day-to-day basis with
everyone on World Wide Web (WWW).

He is also interested in collecting views of others to enhance his research

and knowledge related to his area of interest. He belongs to a middle class
family and can not afford his own Website. Also being a non-technical
person he can not create a dynamic Website to deal with day-to-day inputs.

(i) Suggest an easy way for Sharvan to achieve the same.

(ii) Also, name two popularly used free services that can help Sharvan in this
regard.

 Ans/;
i. Sharavan should develop a blog
ii. Twitter and Facebook
9. Difference between HTTP and TCP/IP.
TCP/IP
Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol
The purpose was to allow
computers to communicate over
long distance networks. The TCP
part has to do with the verifying
delivery of the packets. The IP part
refers to the moving of data packets
between nodes.
TCP/IP specifies how data is
exchanged over the internet by
providing end-to-end
communications that identify how it
should be broken into packets,
addressed, transmitted, routed and
received at the destination. TCP/IP
requires little central management,
and it is designed to make networks
reliable, with the ability to recover
automatically from the failure of any
device on the network.
TCP is used extensively by many
internet applications.
6
HTTP
Hypertext Transfer Protocol
HTTP is the protocol used to
transfer data over the web. It is part
of the Internet protocol suite and
defines commands and services
used for transmitting webpage data.
HTTP uses a server-client model.
A client, for example, may be a
home computer, laptop, or mobile
device. The HTTP server is typically
a web host running web server
software, such as Apache or IIS.
When you access a website,
your browser sends a request to the
corresponding web server and it
responds with an HTTP status code.
If the URL is valid and the
connection is granted, the server
will send your browser the webpage
and related files.
HTTP is useful in transferring smaller
files like web pages.
 It needs authentication. HTTP does not perform
authentication.

The speed for TCP is slower. HTTP is faster than TCP.

10. Explain different types of networks?

A computer network is a system in which multiple computers are connected

to share information and resources. Computer network varies with each
other based on their functionality, geography, ownership, and
communication media used.
