Its amazing how we take things we use everyday for granted. A whole bunch of my daily work involves transferring files over FTP. I never thought about looking up it’s history. And today,I was just watching a random TV show and the host, who were shooting at IIT Khanpur, mentions that it was a graduate of that college who developed FTP.
Abhay Bhushan graduated from IIT Khanpur in its first batch in 1965, and went on to design RFC 114, which became the basis of the file transport protocol. There are some really nice articles about him if you google right.
