Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the given URL, "ftp.net.usf.edu" indicates that the requested resource is located at this domain. The "ftp" in the URL indicates the protocol used for the transfer of information, but it does not necessarily mean that the requested resource is a file to be downloaded through FTP. The port number is specified after the domain name followed by a colon, which is why ":80" indicates that the user is trying to connect to port 80. However, it is not the main focus of the URL and does not provide information on the requested resource.
