File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is an Internet standard where files are exchanged between two computers connected to the Internet. FTP is an Internet application that utilizes the Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocols in moving the files between the sender and the receiver.
Common usage of the FTP is transferring a web page created by the developer to the computer which acts as the network server. The network server in turn displays the web page on the computer of the user that accessed it. This is basically how files move within the World Wide Web. There are many commercial FTP programs on the Internet that you can buy or you can also search for free FTP programs.

Searching for a FTP program? While there are truly thousands of programs available, let me make your search a little easier. Try out Mocha FTP right now. That’s right, The Mocha soft has now made their Mocha FTP Server freeware for everyone to enjoy.
This program supports standard FTP commands. So basically everything you would ever need for your FTP program, it’s there. Moreso, Mocha Server gives a very easy way to copy files to/from a PDA running Windows Mobile or Pocket PC 200x it very much supports the standard File Transfer Protocol features found in the most web browsers and FTP client applications.

Verizon Communications has announced their tests of an intelligent routing system that allows the content owners to share a very large file through a managed network which reduces download times by storing files with other users rather than the content owners’ servers. This will greatly improve performance and will make file exchanges a little faster. The Verizon claims a managed Peer-to-Peer (P2P) protocol is a more cost and effective way to transfer large files.
A presentation last Friday in New York revealed the results of the tests, conducted with the collaboration of Pando Networks, a peer-assisted content of delivery service provider, and Yale University, which monitored their test and said it is “phenomenal.”

In choosing the right FTP, the answer would depend on your goals and requirements. Generally speaking, SFTP is superior to FTPS. It would be a good idea to implement both protocols; however, they are different in terms of their concepts and supported commands.
If you have a server that have FTP support but does not have SFTP/SSH clients or it needs to be accessed from personal devices such as PDAs, smartphones, etc), it is a good idea to use FTPS. However, if you are building a custom security solution, the better option is SFTP. As for the side of the clients, the requirements depend on the server that you plan to connect to.

X.509 certificates include certain information about the certificate owner and the public key. This information will allow the other side to verify the authenticity of the certificate owner and the integrity of the certificate itself. The verification can be done by humans, with the help of a computer. X.509 certificate has a private key, which is normally stored separately from the certificate for security reasons.
Since the associated key is stored separately, the SSH key contains a public key only. It does not contain any information about the key owner. Neither does it contain information that will let one reliably validate the authenticity and integrity.

SFTP is a binary protocol, and the latest version is standardized in RFC 4253. All the requests of commands are already packed to binary messages and sent over to the server, which is replying with binary reply packets. In its later versions, SFTP has been extended to provide not just the download/upload operations, but some file-system operations such as symbolic link creation and file lock etc.
Both SFTP and FTPS use asymmetric algorithm as a combination (RSA, DSA), key-exchange algorithm, and symmetric algorithm (DES/3DES, AES, Twhofish etc). FTPS (or SSL/TLS protocol under FTP) uses certificates of X.509 while SFTP (SSH protocol) uses keys of SSH for authentication.

FTP runs exclusively through TCP. The servers of FTP by default listen to port 21 for incoming connections from the clients of FTP. From FTP client, a connection to this port forms the control stream on which the commands are passed from the FTP client to the FTP server, and on certain occasions from the FTP server to the FTP client. It uses out-of-band control. This means that it uses a separate connection for data and control. Therefore, a different connection is required for the actual file transfer to take place, which is called the data stream. The process of setting up the data stream is different depending on the transfer mode.

Though FTP is a straightforward facility to transfer files through the internet easily, without much fuss it is dependent on several factors that makes the process possible. First, you need a client software that can be installed for uploading and downloading, allowing your desktop to take on the same plane as the server that is handling the file distribution. The said “SERVER” may be a simple desktop too but is the so-called traffic light which tells clients, where the files are coming from and who the packets of data are for.
The server needs a server-side software that allows it to understand the file requests made by the clients and also allows them to understand each other, making the whole thing transparent. As said, the server can be a simple desktop that isn’t even running a GUI interface system but can be a bare bone system running software that allows everything to happen. Some systems like the much famed Pirate Bay even ran on mobile computers, allowing them to elude authorities who were after them all these years.

FTP is quite straight forward yet unbeknownst to most, they can be quite finicky with exacting requirements such as equal install of the client software that allows you to communicate with the server. The server’s job is simply to disburse the files according to pre-set file sizes, or packets that are then sent through the internet to be stored into a temporary file on your desktop, to be completed and verified when the process has completed. Aborted downloads or uploads can be continued with many software having their own proprietary protocols that allows this to happen. Others go under the browser, using proprietary protocols that allows it to do file transfers quickly. Read the rest of this entry »
