  Goyal,
  First you need to understand that the system you are talking about is a series of abstractions layered on top of each other.
  
  So the browser needs a stream and an associated MIME type (whether the data it is receiving is HTML, plain text, audio, video, image, etc).
  
  This stream is sent from the server to the client in the form of packets. The nature of sending these packets could be different from different environments. If it is open internet we are talking about then most likely it is TCP/IP or FTP.
  
  The packets are essentially electric signals transmitted through some media (fibre optics, copper wire, etc).
  
  Hope this pretty much addresses your doubt.

  Thanks sir

  do you intend to say that you need to interface two systems using internet and then transfer information? In that case as well, the ftp/sftp will be needed.
  The destination addresses being the IP address of the other system to whom you intend to send down messages.

  yes u are right.i have been working on writing a new server and as per my knowledge,,web browser creates a TCP connection using a socket.
