Introduction to FTP
   FTP – File transfer protocol in the application layer
   Standard network protocol
   Authenticate- clear text sign in protocol
   Command line applications – The first FTP client
   Secured transmissions –SSL / TLS
Objective
   Sharing of files
   Indirect use of remote computers
   Protect the user from variations in file storage
   Transfer of data reliably & efficiently
Communication and data transfer
   The server responds,
   3- digit status code
   Optional text message
   Eg: 200 OK
Contd…
 FTP may run in two modes,
 Active mode
 Passive mode- PASV command
Data representations
   Transfer data over network,
   ASCII
   Image/binary mode
   EBCDIC mode
   Local mode
Contd…
   ASCII- Used for text
   Image/binary mode- byte transactions
   EBCDIC mode- 8 bit character encoding used in IBM
   Local mode- sends data in proprietary format
Data transfer
   Data transfer can be done in three modes,
   Stream mode
   Block mode
   Compressed mode
Contd…
   Stream mode - continuous stream of data
   Block mode – several blocks namely block header, byte
    count and data field.
   Compressed mode- data is compressed using run length
    encoding
   Run- length encoding
   Eg. wwwwbbwwbbw-4w2b2w2b1w
Login Credentials
   Ftp login-username and password
   Username –USER command
   Password –PASS command
   No login credentials-Limited access
Anonymous FTP
   Username- ―anonymous‖
   Password- e-mail ID
   No verification is done
Firewall Traversal
 FTP transfers data only after getting permission from
  server
 Firewall blocks
 PASV command
Syntax
   FTP, URL syntax is described as,
   ftp://[<user>[:<password>]@]<host>[:<port>]/<url-
    path>
   For example:
   ftp://public.ftpservers.example.com/mydirectory/myfile.t
    xt
Security Issues
   Bounce attacks
   Spoof attacks.
   Brute force attacks
   Packet capture
Secure FTP
 FTPS
 SFTP
 FTP over SSH (not SFTP)
   FTPS
   FTPS is an extension to the FTP standard that allows
    clients to request that the FTP session be encrypted.
   AUTH TLS command.
   The server has the option of allowing or denying
    connections that do not request TLS.
   SFTP
   SFTP, or secure FTP, is a program that uses Secure Shell
    (SSH) to transfer files.
   Preventing passwords and sensitive information from
    being transmitted
   FTP clients cannot be used to talk to an SFTP server
   FTP over SSH (not SFTP)
   FTP over SSH (not SFTP) refers to the practice of
    tunneling a normal FTP session over an SSH connection
   No confidentiality or integrity protection
List Of FTP Commands
   GET
   ABOR
   DELE
   PASS
   AUTH
   RNTO
   PWD
   MODE
   ALLO
   RMD
FTP Reply Codes
   3-digit code
   The first digit is used to indicate one of three possible
    outcomes—success, failure or to indicate an error or
    incomplete reply
   2yz
   4yz or 5yz
   1yz or 3yz
Contd…
   The second digit defines the kind of error:
   x0z – Syntax
   x1z – Information
   x2z – Connections
   x3z – Authentication and accounting
   x5z – File system
   The third digit of the reply code is used to provide
    additional details.
