FTP, SFTP and FTPS without the confusion

High yield tonight

Cram this first — memory hook

Warehouse 21 takes orders; bay 20 sends active deliveries. Door 22 has two secure keys. SSH File Transfer Protocol rides Secure Shell ; FTP over TLS wraps File Transfer Protocol .

Exam trap

Allowing Transmission Control Protocol 21 alone can permit login while preventing file transfers. Passive does not universally use 20 for data.

The slide facts

The active/passive diagram separates control and data connections. The secure-file slide names on 22 and also lists explicit and implicit over Transport Layer Security .

Close the book — check

Is SSH File Transfer Protocol simply File Transfer Protocol with an Secure Sockets Layer certificate?

Scenario

File Transfer Protocol login succeeds, but directory listings and downloads hang behind a firewall. Which distinction explains this?

If you have time — extra

File Transfer Protocol () uses a control conversation on Transmission Control Protocol () 21 to issue commands and a separate data connection for file contents. In traditional active , the server initiates the data connection, conventionally from source 20, to the client-selected endpoint. In passive , the client connects to a server-advertised data port. File Transfer Protocol () is a separate file-transfer protocol over Secure Shell (), commonly 22. The deck calls it Secure File Transfer Protocol; retain that wording as a course alias while teaching File Transfer Protocol as the precise common expansion. over () instead protects with Transport Layer Security (). Explicit commonly starts on 21 and upgrades security; implicit conventionally starts with on 990. Both remain -style control/data arrangements. The heading in the deck must not make learners merge into .

Walkthrough

Identify which protocol the question names. For ordinary , distinguish control from data and active from passive. For , choose /22. For , choose protected by and check its mode.
