File-sharing Protocols

File-sharing protocols are systems that enable users to send and receive files over the internet. They define the rules and methods for computers to communicate and transfer data efficiently and securely. Common examples include HTTP (for web browsing), FTP (for transferring files), and P2P (peer-to-peer) networks, which allow users to share directly with one another. These protocols ensure that files can be accessed, downloaded, and shared smoothly, enabling collaboration and resource sharing among individuals and organizations. Overall, they are essential for accessing and distributing information online.
