For secure transmission that protects the username and password, and encrypts the content, FTP is often secured with SSL/TLS (FTPS) or replaced with SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP). ‘The first FTP client applications were command-line programs developed before operating systems had graphical user interfaces, and are still shipped with most Windows, Unix, and Linux operating systems.[2}[3] Many FTP clients and automation utilities have since been developed for desktops, servers, mobile devices, and hardware, and FTP has been incorporated into productivity applications, such as HTML editors. In this activity, you will configure FTP services. You will then use the FTP services to transfer files between clients and the server. Packet Tracer only simulates the process for configuring these services. FTP server and client software packages each have their own unique installation and configuration instructions. The first time you attempt to connect to a web address, Packet Tracer takes several seconds to simulate the DNS name resolution proce 4|PageIntroduction + In current times if you want to transfer a file to a friend, you can just attach it in an email and send it off. With high speed bandwidth being so cheap and plentiful to the home user, transferring afile in this manner is usually more than adequate. What if you needed to transfer the file to someone immediately; there could be no delays, it has to be fast, and the files you are transferring may be very large. In a scenario like this, email will most likely not be adequate. This is because most email providers limit the size of your mailbox on their servers, the size of attachments you may receive, and that there is no guarantee when you send email how long it will take for the recipient to receive it or if it will even get there. This is where FTP comes in. FTP is a software which allows every user to install and transfer files or folders from one system to the other. It also works in a similar way as HTTP for transferring Web pages from a server to a user browser. File Transfer protocol is mostly used for downloading a file from a server and then is uploaded as a Web page file. ‘The governing body that owns the term FTP, apache defines it as any sending or receiving directories which are located into the following path /httpdocs/publications, it is based on transferring files from one place to another. ‘The way File Transfer Protocol works is by installing the software first on both machines and then simply taking files one by one and shift them. The software for FTP can be bought or downloaded form the web browser, however the requirements are a bit different. As soon as one file is received, the system confirms it by sending a confirmation message to the system next to S| PageFTP Server:- What Is FTP? FTP stands for "file transfer protocol.” FTP powers one of the fundamental Internet functions and is the prescribed method for the transfer of files between computers. Itis also the easiest and most secure way to exchange files over the Internet. An FTP address looks a lot like an HTTP or web site address except it uses the prefix fip:// instead of hutp://. FTP stands for the File transfer protocol and is used to transfer files between an FTP server and another computer. In the past, FTP was much more common than it is today and was the dominant file transfer mechanism on the Internet. If you needed to transfer files between two computers, you would use FTP to do so. FTP is still very popular today when a service requires that a lot of files be hosted for other to people to download. FTP also tends to be faster than other contemporary methods of transferring files because it was designed to do so. Even more important, FTP support Automatic Resume. This means that if you are downloading the latest new game demo that is over 600 megs, and for some reason the download stops in the middle of the transfer, the ftp client will attempt to on the next download of the same file, to continue from where you left off. This feature can save you a huge amount of time but is generally only found in specialized FTP client software and not in your browser software. What is a Protocol Anyway? The dictionary defines the word "protocol" as: A set of conventions governing the treatment and especially the formatting of data in an electronic communications system.Therefore, FTP is essentially a "set of conventions” that can be used by an "electronic communications system" to transfer files. These “conventions” are defined in a document known as RFC 959. This document contains the details of how FTP should be implemented in software. If you want to write some software that implements FTP, then RFC 959 would be a good place to start. What are some common uses of FTP? ‘The most common use of FTP is to download files. FTP is vital to the MP3 musie sharing, most online auctions and game enthusiasts, The ability to transfer files quickly and reliably is essential for everyone creating and maintaining a web page. How can I use FTP? * Most web hosting services provide FTP access to their customers to allow them to upload the contents of their web sites © Companies often have FTP servers that allow users to send and receive files. © Most universities have FTP servers that allow their students to download course materials and upload assignments for submission. * Use FTP to transfer files among users, especially if the files are too large to attach to an email # Use FIP to browse through a collection of downloadable files on a public software archive. 6| PageWhat is an FTP Server? Typically, a computer with an FTP address is dedicated to receive an FTP connection. A computer dedicated to receiving an FTP connection is referred to as an FTP server or FTP What do I need to start using FTP? ‘You need two things to begin using FTP:An FTP client application and An FTP server. Where can I get an FTP Client? Most computer operating systems already come with an FTP client; however, itis not user-friendly. Start up a command prompt window, type "fip" and then press “enter.” Chances are you will be greeted by an "fip>" prompt. Unless you are well-versed with using command lines and enjoy typing, there are much easier ways to FTP.FTP Explorer is an FTP client application. It is designed to make FTP simple and hassle-free. Most people agree it is much easier to use than a command line FTP client. Download FTP Explorer here. Where can I get an FTP server? In many cases, the FTP server you want to connect to is already out there somewhere, waiting for you to establish a connection to it.I, however, you want to set up your own FTP server so other users can connect to your server and transfer files, you have a few options:Many operating systems come with an FTP server, but itis often disabled for security reasons. Windows XP Pro includes an FTP server as part of Internet Information Server, but itis disabled by default. Most Unix and Linux systems include FTP "daemons" as part of their distributions. Check with the vendor of your operating system to determine if you already have FTP server software. There are also a variety of third party FTP servers available. 7|Page
