Clients and Servers

This assignment tests your understanding of the terms "client" and "server." Answer, and explain your answers, to the following questions.

(This would be a good assignment to do with a friend because you have to write a good explanation -- two heads are better than one and having someone else read your answer and give you feedback will force you to be clear -- to practice Internet writing).

  1. Is a client a computer or a program?
  2. Is a server a computer or a program?
  3. Can a single computer run more than one client program at the same time?
  4. Can a single computer offer more than one service at the same time?
  5. Could an FTP client work with a POP server?
