FTP protocol or file transfer over the network took root in 1980. This is when the first RFC for FTP protocol was ever published. The functions of FTP include uploading, downloading and deleting files, creating and deleting directories, and reading directory contents. FTP has certain disadvantages which makes it harder to use although it is very popular. Major drawbacks would be the lack of uniform format for directory listing – though not supported by some servers; this problem was partially solved by introducing MLST command. Another disadvantage would be the presence of secondary connection (DATA connection). FTPS is the secured version of FTP.

When studying for the CCNA exam, the first thing that you should do is to memorize a list of port numbers and protocols that run on those ports. If you’re an experienced networker, you would know these protocols – SMTP, FTP, DHCP, and DNS. But maybe you have not heard of one protocol which is vital for working with Cisco switches and routers, and in CCNA exam studies. That’s TFTP – Trivial File Transfer Protocol.
TFTP is a non-secure relative of FTP. There are no authentication scheme and no passwords. It is used in Cisco to perform IOS upgrades and save configs to TFTP Server. Cisco routers can serve as TFTP themselves, or you can use a workstation.

The New York Times wrote a story last week about an alarm about the amount of data flowing through the Internet. It has been observed that the bandwidth is taking a major hit these days… there’s just too much data being passed to and fro. While the story focused on the video such as YouTube, it’s also true that the P2P traffic – much as ISPs may hate to admit it – makes up a very significant percentage of network traffic.
The P4P protocol aims to reduce all the traffic by using network topology data to select peers intelligently, instead of a random, thus increasingly routing efficiency. It is obvious: the more routers or hops traffic has to take, the less efficient it becomes.

Comcast and Bit Torrent Inc. have announced that they’ll work together to ensure the popular file-sharing format that would work more smoothly over Comcast’s network. This is great news and will surely make a lot of bottlenecks easier to work with. The cable company has been embroiled in a public controversy over its policy of throttling Bit Torrent files even by the means of shaping its network traffic.
According to The Wall Street Journal, The Comcast will switch from hamstringing to a certain file formats just to slow the traffic for those users who consume the most bandwidth. CEO Doug Walker told us earlier this month that he wanted to be partners with Comcast (Tony Werner).

Coviant Software Corp., a supplier of all the file transfer management software, makes bold steps to improve access management procedures for a more secured and compliant platform
Access management is a very critical component of a secure, compliant file transfer process, which includes correct identification of all users, and processes, granting the appropriate access permission, and capture of the access data for tracking and reporting. Coviant Software’s Diplomat Transaction Manager V3.5 enhances the access management for a much better compliance with all the mandates, PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard), SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley), and HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act).

*continued from previous post
Some features available to Net2FTP administrators are the following:
- MySQL database. This feature is optional but is useful in logging and for setting daily transfer limits.
- Authorizations. This will allow the users to connect to FTP servers.
- Logging. With this feature, the administrator can activate and/or deactivate three logging types:
- logins
- errors
- page requests
- Daily limit. The administrator can set each user’s limit of daily consumption to restrict file transfer volume and execution of script. Once the limit is reached, a user can still browse directories but will not be able to perform any file transfer.
- Large file limit. Large files can not be downloaded or uploaded but can be renamed or deleted.
- Integration with PHP applications. Net2FTP can be integrated easily to other applications that are developed using PHP.

A software standard that is used to send files to a web browser is called an FTP (File Transfer Protocol). We can use this protocol when we are uploading sites on a server – allowing the movement of files between computers. In other words, it will help to upload files coming from a computer to a web server, and then recovering from the web server to another computer.
Another use for FTP is to transfer files between computers with users on a larger intranet. This is especially useful for files that are bigger for an e-mail attachment. Once you have unveiled FTP in its truest sense, you will come to know how it will support you in managing your site.
