What<br /> is a server?<br /> <br /> <br /> ====Resolution====<br /> The internet works by pairs of machines talking to one another to receive<br /> information. The requesting machine is called the client, the machine supplying<br /> the information is called the server. Servers and clients speak an agreed <br /> upon language for the particular information they&#039;re tranferring. For example,<br /> mail servers/clients speak SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol). Web servers<br /> and browsers speak HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol). These protocols are<br /> spoken over a TCP/IP connection.<br /> <br /> ====Related KB articles====<br /> [[KB 221]] What is TCP/IP?</div>
