File transfer and sharing-1
File transfer:
- FTP (File Transfer Protocol): uses an TCP connection to access files on another computer where an ftp server is running
- the ftp server waits for connection on well known port 21
- protection is done by a password in clear text on the network!
- SCP (Secure CoPy): use a encrypted connection
- anonymous ftp: offers public access to data with user=anonymous, password=a valid e-mail address
