Book Description
One of the first applications implemented on the Internet, File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is also one of the most fundamental, supported by virtually all systems connected to the Internet. No single document defines FTP, but rather an entire sequence of documents published online as Requests for Comments (RFCs). This book collects and organizes these essential documents in a single printed volume, adding an introduction and extensive index. This means you no longer have to search through various RFCs in hopes of finding the answer to your FTP question - all the current and relevant RFCs are compiled here, with an extensive index that makes it simple to locate precisely the answer you need.
Taken together, the FTP RFCs describe all the Internet protocols clients and servers can use to do file transfers via FTP. In addition to documenting file transfer mechanics, readers will find practical instructions on various techniques, including using file transfers for network booting and how to manage the security issues involved with file transfer over the Internet. If you buy one FTP reference, this is the one to choose. Written by members of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), this compilation is the most complete and authoritative file transfer reference available.
Features: - Bootstrap loading using TFTP
- Background File Transfer Protocol (BFTP)
- Firewall-friendly FTP
- How to use anonymous FTP
- FTP security extensions and considerations
