A protocol is a set of RULES recognized by the Network resources, like Servers, Network Devices like Switches, Hubs, Routers. etc. for example HTTP is a protocol that is used for sending HTML web pages. FTP ( File Transfer) is a protocol for downloading files over network. If 2 PCs communicate with each other with HTTP rules, they are actaully requesting or sending web page files from their hard drives. but if the 2 PCs communicate with their FTP ports using FTP protocol, they are actually requesting or sending normal files e.g. pix from their hard drives to each other. there are many protocols in networking because there are many different types of communication between 2 PCs. HTTP over IE or FTP over a download software are 2 very common ones. Just like the rules for transfering goods between 2 countries that's done by two shipping companies. the 2 shipping companies communicate with each other through specific Shipment rules or protocols.
