- It is a collection of information, resources, pictures, sounds,
multimedia on the internet that are linked and connected together. Also
called as web or WWW.
Internet Terminology

E.g., Facebook servers store the information of all Facebook accounts that
exist, like their name, birthday, profile picture and so on stored on
their computer.
- The client’s browser divides the URL into the different parts like address, path name and protocol.
- DNS translate the domain name into corresponding IP address. The numeric combination represents the site’s true address on internet.
- The browser decides which protocol should be used. Like FTP, HTTP, HTTPS are some example of protocol.
- The server sends a get response to the web server to retrieve the address it has been given.
- The browser converts data into HTML and displays results to user. If it does not locate it send error massage to the browser and to the client.

<head>
<title>Our first web page</title>
</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>
Protocols
Data transfer on a network involves communication between the client and
the server system. So some standard set of rules are used by two systems
to make communication possible. These network communication rules are
known as Protocols.
The main protocol for transferring information on the web is the
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). But web also support many
protocols, such as FTP, News, WAIS.
TCP/IP
Internet use a set of Two protocol TCP/IP (Transmission Control
Protocol / Internet Protocol) to exchange the information between source
and destination system.
- Internet use packet switching techniques to transfer the data, TCP is used to converting the information into equal sized packets and it also responsible to resemble the received the packet at the destination computer to the original information.
- IP is used to assign the address of destination computer to each packet and reroute them over the network. It also responsible for moving packets of data from nodes to nodes
HTTP/HTTPS
HTTP is set of rules for transferring files on World Wide Web. When
Internet user opens a web browser, the user is indirectly making use of
HTTP.
It is a communication protocol used by the client machine to send request
to the web server for a web pages and at sever end; it help to transfer
the request page on the client machine.
Hypertext transfer protocol secure is an extension of the
HTTP. It is used for secure communication over computer network, In
HTTPS, the comminution protocol is encrypted by using Transport Layer
Security (TLS), or Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
Q. How to check your connection is Secure?
Ans:- Before doing any financial transactions on any website it is
necessary to check that your web address must start with https and
there is a padlock sign on navigation bar.
File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
Transferring a file via FTP requires two participants: an FTP client
program and FTP server program. The FTP client is the program that we runs
on our computer. The FTP server is the program that runs on the huge
mainframe some where and stores many thousands of files. The FTP client
can Download (receive) or upload (send) files to the FTP server.
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)
SMTP is a set of commands that authenticate and direct the transfer of
electronic mail.
Internet Massage Access Protocol (IMAP)
It is a standard email protocol that stores email messages on a mail
server, but allows the end user to view and manipulate the masses as
through they were locally on the end user’s computing devices.
Some other Protocol
TELNET Protocol
TELNET (terminal network) is a TCP/IP standard for establishing a
connection to a remote system. It allow us to login to a remote machine.
Secure Shell (SSH)
Secure Shell (SSH), another remote login protocol, is based on UNIX
Programs, SSH uses TCP for communication but it is more powerful and
flexible than TELNET and allows the user to more easily execute a single
command on a remote client.
Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP)
SFTP is a secure version of FTP, Which facilitate data access and data
transfer over the SSH data stream. It is the part of the SSH
Protocol.
SFTP is allowing file transfer over SSH and use with Transport Layer
Security (TLS) and VPN (Virtual Private Network) application. Both
commands and data are encrypted in order to prevent password and other
sensitive information.
