    FTP is the File Transfer Protocol used for copying files between hosts on a TCP/IP network. It uses separate connections for control commands and data transfer. FTP supports both active and passive modes for establishing the data connection. Files can be transferred in ASCII, image, or various data structure formats using stream, block, or compressed transmission modes. Anonymous FTP allows limited access without a login. SFTP provides encrypted secure file transfer functionality.

    FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol


    It is the standard mechanism provided by
    TCP/IP for copying a file from one host to
    another.

    Data files are sent through the Data


    Connection.
    FTP can mean one of three things:

    A file is to be copied from the server to the


    client.
    (Retrieving a file, RETR command)
    A file is to be copied from the server to the
    client.
    (Storing a file, STOR command)
    A list of directory or file names is to be sent from
    the server to the client.
    (LIST command)

    File type, data


    structure, and
    transmission mode
    are defined by the
    client

    ASCII file- Default for sending text


    Image file- Default for sending binary files
    (such as compiled programs)

    FTP can transfer a file across the data


    connection by using one of the following
    interpretations about the data structure
    of the data:
    File Structure: Continuous Stream of
    bytes
    Record Structure: Divided into records
    (Text only)
    Page Structure: Divided into pages

    Active Mode

    Passive Mode

    The Client dynamically picks a port and sends the


    port and IP to the Server. The Server then binds the
    connection to port 20.
    The Server dynamically picks a port and sends the
    port and the IP to the Client. The Client then binds
    the connection to the port.

    Extended Passive Mode

    The Server dynamically picks a port and sends only


    the port to the Client. The Client binds the
    connection to the port assuming the IP stays the
    same.

    Stream Mode (Default)

    Block Mode

    The data is sent from the FTP to the TCP as a


    continuous stream of bytes. TCP is responsible
    for breaking down the data to be transmitted.
    FTP sends data to the TCP in blocks, using a 3byte header. 1st byte is the Block descriptor,
    while the next 2 define the size of the block.

    Compressed Mode

    FTP sends the data to the TCP compressed


    using what is called run-length encoding

    Data Transmission can be interrupted and


    resumed with the REST command.

    Client will send this command to the server, and tell


    it how many bytes it has received and the server
    will then resume sending data from that point.

    Data Transmission can also be resumed on


    uploads using the APPE command. (Append)

    The client first has to use the SIZE command on the


    directory to find out the file size before it can
    resume sending data to the server. The server
    DOES NOT automatically tell the client how big the
    file is.

    Allows the User to Anonymously login to


    the server gaining limited access defined
    by the server Administrator.

    Secured FTP or Secured Shell FTP


    (SSH/FTP)
    Use port 22
    Creates a secured private channel
    between Server and client
    Uses Public Key Encryption
    Prevents Packet Sniffing
