In FTP No added meta-data in the sent files, just the raw binary Never chunked encoding "overhead" In HTTP reusing existing persistent connections make better TCP performance pipelining makes asking for multiple files from the same server faster (automatic) compression makes less data get sent no command/response flow minimizes extra round-trips Ultimately the net outcome of course differ depending on specific details, but I would say that for single-shot static files, you won't be able to measure a difference. For a single shot small file, you might get it faster with FTP (unless the server is at a long round-trip distance). When getting multiple files, HTTP should be the faster one. read less

When you create a file system web application then there is no need of IIS to run it, because VS 2005 have its own inbuilt web development server (Cassini web server), but when you create HTTP web application then you need IIS to run.

Any ASP.NET application will need HTTP as it can only access over web. If you are hosting HTTP Visual Studio will create virtual directory for application. In case of file system hosting you need to create that setup.
