Network Protocols

A Network Protocol is like a language spoken between computers on a network. 

In order for devices to communicate they have to be on the same network (or 

have a way to get from one network to another) and speak the same language. 
Some examples of networking protocols are:

HTTP - This protocol is used to download and view World Wide Web pages 

from computer to computer.

AppleTalk - Used by older Macintosh computers for local networks

TCP/IP - Used by all computers on the worldwide Internet to communicate 

various information

FTP - File Transfer Protocol is used to easily move files (documents, pictures, 

programs, etc.) from computer to computer. The Nikon WT-1 transmit-
ter uses the FTP protocol to transfer images from camera to a remote 
computer.
