1. Define Communication?

[1m or 5m]
 The Interaction between two or more users on two or more different terminals is
called Communication.
 In UNIX, communication is an excellent feature that enables the user to communicate
worldwide.
 It supports various communication facilities provided using the write command, mail
command, talk command, etc.
 UNIX can help facilitate communication among people.
 Unix provides a rather rich set of communications tools
 The first two communication utilities talk and write, deal with communications
between two users at different terminals.

2. Define Remote Access? Explain Different Types Of Remote Access ?[10m]


 When we sit at our personal computer ,we are working in our local environment .If
from our personal computer we log into a computer located at another site, we are
connecting remotely .Unix uses the telnet utility for remote login
 The telnet concept: An abbreviation for telnet is Terminal Network
 The telnet utility is a TCP/IP standard for the exchange of data between computer
systems. The main task of telnet is to provide services for users.
 telnet working port number 23
 Remote login there are Two Types
I. Local login :
 When we log into local time sharing system it is called
local login.
 In a time-sharing environment a large computer supports
multiple users
II. Remote login: when we access an application program or utility located on
a remote machine, we must still login, only this time it is a remote login.

Example of using Telnet to Connecting to remote system:

• $telnet
• telnet> open cvr.ac.in
• Trying……
• Connected to cvr.ac.in
• ..
• Logout
• Connection closed by foreign host

Telnet interface commands:

• Open-connects to a remote computer

• Close-closes the connection.

• Display-shows the operating parameters.

• Mode-changes to line mode or character mode.

• Set-sets the operating parameters.

• Status-displays the status information.

• Send-sends special characters

• Quit-exits

 ?-the help command


3. Define File transfer Protocal (FTP)[5m or 10m]:
• Whenever a file is transferred from a client to a server, a server to a client or
between to servers, a transfer utility is used. in UNIX ftp is used to transfer files.
• 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.

• There are two commands to transfer files: get and put. Both of these commands are
made in reference to the local system. Therefore get copies a file from the remote system
to local system where as put
Write a file from the local system to the remote system.
Example: Syntax: $get file[new_file_name]
$put file[new_file_name]

• $ ftp voyager.fhda.edu
• Connected to voyager.fhda.edu.
• ……….
• Name:gilberg
• Password:
• Remote system type is unix
• ftp>
• Closing an ftp connection
• ftp>quit.
ffp>close
