BUSINESS to CONSUMER (B2C)

Business conducted between companies and individual consumers, rather than between two companies. It describes activities of businesses serving end consumers with products services.

C2C exchanges can include classified ads, music and file sharing, career and job websites and also personal services such as dating websites. Here consumers can sell goods and services to other consumers. There are millions of sellers with different items to sell and an equally large number of buyers. Finding each other can incur quite a high cost to both buyer and seller, and thus this is why intermediaries like eBay are so important. eBay mediate between consumers who want to buy and sell, and take small cuts of the sellers profit as a fee for bringing their customers to one marketplace. C2C gives many small business owners a way to sell their goods without running a highly profit draining bricks-and-mortar store. The most effective consumer to consumer businesses involve items such as handmade gifts, personal artwork, clothing design, and collectible.

FTP is also commonly used to transfer Web page files from their creator to the computer that acts as their server for everyone on the Internet. It's also commonly used to download programs and other files to your computer from other servers.

Filters

Filters enables administrators to enforce network usage policies and monitor user behavior.

A Windows driver that adds value to peripheral devices or supports a specialized device in the PC.It is either written by Microsoft or the vendor of the hardware, any number of filter drivers can be added to Windows. Upper level filter drivers sit above the primary driver for the device (the function driver), while lower level filter drivers sit below the function driver and above the bus driver.Filters may work on a certain brand of device such as a mouse or keyboard, or they may perform some operation on a class of devices, such as any mouse or any keyboard. Another type of filter driver is the bus filter driver, which may be added on top of the bus driver. For example, an ACPI bus filter is added to support power management for each device.
