    FTP uses persistent TCP connections for control and non-persistent connections for data transfer, while HTTP can use both persistent and non-persistent TCP connections. FTP utilizes two ports - port 21 for commands and port 20 for transferring files, while HTTP uses various methods for transferring web pages over port 80. Key differences between the two protocols are FTP focuses on file transfer while HTTP focuses on web pages and uses TCP for transferring data versus HTTP using various methods.

    . HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) 
    The term HTTP is a short form for HyperText Transfer Protocol. HTTP
    is basically the backbone of the world wide web (WWW). It is basically an
    internet standard that assists in the process of transferring various web
    pages all over the internet. HTTP helps in defining how a web browser
    responds to all of its web requests.
    All the web addresses of the web pages consist of a domain name and
    protocol along with their path to the main web page. A majority of the
    web addresses consist of http:// in their respective URLs that show the
    HTTP protocol.
    The working of HTTP is basically like the combined functions of SMTP
    and FTP. Also, HTTP makes use of the TCP
    File Transfer Protocol (FTP) 
    The term FTP is a short form for File Transfer Protocol. FTP is a type
    of internet standard that basically allows different devices (computers) to
    upload as well as download data files on the internet. The FTP sites
    consist of various types of files (images, video, texts, graphics, etc.). The
    FTP files came into existence when data security was not the primary
    concern. FTP is now pretty old, and various news protocols have now
    replaced it.
    The FTP provides support for two types of Transmission Control Protocols
    (TCP)- the first one is the data port or data connection (port 20) for
    transferring files. The second one here is the command port or control
    connection (port 21) for the authentication of the user.

    Interesting
    facts of FTP
    FTP is a TCP based service exclusively. There is no UDP
    component to FTP. FTP is an unusual service in that it utilizes
    two ports, a 'data' port and a 'command' port (also known as
    the control port). Traditionally these are port 21 for the
    command port and port 20 for the data port.
    FTP types
    There are several different ways an FTP server and client software can conduct a file transfer using FTP:
    •Anonymous FTP. This is the most basic form of FTP. It provides support for data transfers without
    encrypting data or using a username and password. It's most commonly used for download of material
    that is allowed for unrestricted distribution. It works on port
    •Password-protected FTP. This is also a basic FTP service, but it requires the use of a username and
    password, though the service might not be encrypted or secure. It also works on port 21.
    •FTP Secure (FTPS). Sometimes referred to as FTP Secure Sockets Layer (FTP-SSL), this approach
    enables implicit Transport Layer Security (TLS) as soon as an FTP connection is established. FTPS was
    initially used to help enable a more secure form of FTP data transfer. It typically defaults to using port
    990.
    •FTP over explicit SSL/TLS (FTPES). This approach enables explicit TLS support by upgrading an FTP
    connection over port 21 to an encrypted connection. This is a commonly used approach by web and file
    sharing services to enable secure file transfers.
    •Secure FTP (SFTP). This is technically not an FTP protocol, but it functions similarly. Rather, SFTP is
    a subset of the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol that runs over port 22. SSH is commonly used by systems
    administrators to remotely and securely access systems and applications, and SFTP provides a mechanism
    within SSH for secure file transfer.
