FTP

Introduction

• FTP works on the client/server principle. A client program enables the user to interact with a server in order to access information and services on the server computer.

• Files that can be transferred are stored on computers called FTP servers. To access these files, an FTP client program is used. This is an interface that allows the user to locate the file(s) to be transferred and initiate the transfer process.

Introduction

• FTP uses the services of TCP. It needs two TCP connections. The well-known port 21 is used for the control connection and the well-known

port 20 for the data connection.
