Key Points
- FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol.
- It's a standard network protocol used for the transfer of computer files between a client and server on a computer network.
- FTP is built on a client-server model architecture using separate control and data connections between the client and the server.
Additional Information
- There are many protocols used in computer networking, each serving different functions and purposes. Some of the most commonly used protocols are:
- Internet Protocol (IP): It's primarily used to route packets of data from the source to the destination based on their IP addresses.
- Transmission Control Protocol (TCP): Works with IP to ensure that packets are reliably delivered. It manages error checking and retransmission of lost packets.
- User Datagram Protocol (UDP): A simpler, faster alternative to TCP that doesn't provide error checking or packet sequencing.
- Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP): The protocol used for transferring web pages and other content over the internet.
- Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS): A secure version of HTTP that provides encrypted communication and secure identification of network servers.
- File Transfer Protocol (FTP): A protocol for transferring files between systems.
- Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP): Used for sending email messages between servers.
- Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3) and Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP): These are used to retrieve emails from a server.
- Domain Name System (DNS): Translates domain names into IP addresses.
- Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP): Used for managing and monitoring network devices.
- Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP): Assigns IP addresses to devices on a network.
- Network Time Protocol (NTP): Used to synchronize the clocks of computers over a network.
- Secure Shell (SSH): Allows for secure remote login from one computer to another.
- Telnet: An older protocol used for remote login. It's less secure than SSH.
- Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP): Mainly used by network devices to send error messages.
- Address Resolution Protocol (ARP): Resolves IP addresses to MAC addresses.
- Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP): Used by network devices for advertising their identities, capabilities, and neighbors on a local network.
