1. File Transfer protocol
It is an application layer protocol which is utilized to send and receive files over the Network, it
is a communication between client and server. This communication takes place when a client
requests connection to FTP server using ‘user name’ and ‘password’, once legitimate credentials
are produced by a client it gets connected to the server after successful connection the thing
that matters is what rights a specific credential has. Below is a depiction of that.

client is Filezilla.

FTP commonly uses port number 20 and 21 for connection this particular concept is shown below where
a node is contacting the FTP server for connection through port 21 and data connection is done using
port 20 at the server and open port at the client end.
