FTP = File Transfer Protocol. Method for transferring files from your computer to a server.
Once files are loaded to a server, they have a discrete address, a Uniform Resource Locator, or URL that can be used to find them on the internet.
URL analyzed
http: stands for hypertext transfer protocol; this is the protocol for turning code into the visualized pages on the internet.
// 2 forward slashes mark the start of the internet
the next component (between the // and first /) is the name of the server/domain
sub-locations (think of them like sub-folders) are named between subsequent /
the last part of the location is the filename. Typically, it will end with an .html or .htm extension
