Data Communications and Networking 5th edition Behrouz A. Forouzan - Solutions

Both HTTP and FTP can retrieve a file from a server. Which protocol should we use to download a file?
In Chapter 1, we mentioned that the TCP/IP suite, unlike the OSI model, has no presentation layer. But an application-layer protocol can include some of the features defined in this layer if needed. Does SMTP have any presentationlayer features?
Are the HELO and MAIL FROM commands both necessary in SMTP? Why or why not?
