Leanard Thompson Post Lab 2 Questions. 1/11/06 1. An IP address and a phone number are alike because they are both designated numbers for a given thing, place, or address. 2. HTTP difers from FTP b/c the FTP format is more private b/c it makes you identify yourself every time you want to access something through that format. HTTP doesn't. The HTTP is more convenient because of the identification process. It is faster because of no intermediate password requests pages. 3. It is not correct to say the folders/directories directly contain data. They only contain pathways to the data. 4. Pathnames and URLs are both "network directions" so to say to get to a page or file that you desire. 5. URLs normally begin with the letters http that is composed of an IP address. The pathway is the part that follows the I address which shows which file (page) is requested. The pathway normally has lots of forward slashes ending in a file type instead of a domain.
