Answer to Question 1

SMTP, or Simple Mail Transfer Protocol is used for email transmissions (along with other protocols as well). FTP, or File Transfer Protocol, is used to move files over the Internet. One very common use for FTP is to maintain Web sites. When a Web site administrator wishes to post a new picture or story on a Web server, the administrator will often use FTP to move the picture or other item to the server. Like HTTP, FTP has a secure version as well.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
