The ETag HTTP response header is an identifier for a specific version of a resource that is used for cache validation.
It enables browsers to verify whether a cached resource is still up to date by sending the ETag back to the server, which compares it with the current version and returns the resource only if it has changed.
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol for transferring files between a server and a client.
