Once we can accept connections, we will learn to pass off those connections

We will start by creating a server that can listen for connections from a client. Typically, a client connects to a server on port 21, sends some login information,Īnd gets access to the server's local filesystem.

to transfer data reliably and efficiently.įTP is a way to transfer files from one computer to another.

to shield a user from variations in file storage systems among hosts, and.

to encourage indirect or implicit (via programs) use of remote computers.

to promote sharing of files (computer programs and/or data).

What is FTP?Īccording to the specification in IETF RFC 959, the File Transfer With that out of the way, let's get started. It is not secure, and I have done no scalability testing on it. It is an introduction into creatingĪn application from a specification, an introduction to socket communication, asynchronous methods, stream encodings, and basic encryption. It is not an example of a full featured, scalable, and secure FTP server. Unless you want remote administration, this port must not be forwarded.First, I want to describe what this article is not. The 14147 is used internally by FileZilla Server. All ports must be forwarded for the TCP protocol only, UDP isn't used by FTP. The ports must be forwarded because otherwise your router wouldn't know which internal machine to send them to.You must forward the initial FTP listening port (which is, by default, 21 and 990 for Implicit FTPS) and a range of ports used for Passive data connections. The ports you forward are in principle not bound to IPs. Together with the loopback IPv6, this one is special and does only work from the same machine that the server is on (it tries to connect back to itself). The 208.x.y.z IPv4 is no good for internal connections, due to NAT design/limitations it is invalid inside your LAN. This one must be used if connecting from outside your router (e. It's the one you have to use to connect if you are in the same LAN as the server. The IPv4 IPCONFIG provides you with is the internal LAN IP of that machine.
