"FTP's transfer efficiencies over HTTP"? A TCP socket is a TCP socket. An HTTP transfer of a file (not including things like logins and such) requires less communication than FTP. HTTP opens a socket, sends a few dozen bytes of request, and gets the file. FTP opens a socket, has to log in (even for "anonymous" FTP), has to request the file, open a second socket for the data transfer, and then gets the file. -- Chris Adams <[email protected]> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
