• Working principle

FTP, like most Internet services, is a client/server approach. The use of the method is simple

1> to start the FTP client and establish a connection to the remote host

2> sends a transmission command to a remote host

3> The remote host responds when the command is received and executes the correct command. Complete the upload or download service.

· FTP Server

The FTP server can have two types of landing methods

1> Anonymous Landing: The general anonymous landing can only download the FTP server resources, and transmission speed is relatively slow, of course, this should be set on the FTP server. For this type of user, the FTP server needs to be limited, should not open excessive permissions, bandwidth should be as small as possible.

2> Authorized Account Login: Requires administrator to tell the user the account and password, the administrator set up these accounts, such as what resources they can access, download and upload speed.
