  7. TCP/IP is a set of rules that allow computer systems to connect to eachother via networks to transfer data. Each computer has a unique address called the IP (Internet Protocol) address. When two computers want to communicate they establish a connection using a set of rules (protocol) called TCP (Tranmission Control Protocol) that allow the two computers to send & recieve data from each other. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is used to tranfer data from one computer to another. It requires the two computers to have an IP address and make a TCP connection before using FTP to transfer the file. FTP is an unencrypted protocol to transfer data and due to this it has declined in popularity because of it's lack of security.
