How to use ftp client and server on the same PC?

How do you use a FTP client on a WiFi network?

There is no difference with FTP as a client on either a wired or wireless network; you use it the same way.

What ports need to be open for the client to use the FTP client software?

FTP is a TCP based service exclusively. There is no UDP component to FTP. FTP is an unusual service in that it utilizes two ports, a 'data' port and a 'command' port (also known as the control port). Traditionally these are port 21 for the command port and port 20 for the data port. The confusion begins however, when we find that depending on the mode, the data port is not always on port 20. In active mode FTP the client connects from a random unprivileged port (N > 1023) to the FTP server's command port, port 21. Then, the client starts listening to port N+1 and sends the FTP command PORT N+1 to the FTP server. The server will then connect back to the client's specified data port from its local data port, which is port 20. From the server-side firewall's standpoint, to support active mode FTP the following communication channels need to be opened: * FTP server's port 21 from anywhere (Client initiates connection) * FTP server's port 21 to ports > 1023 (Server responds to client's control port) * FTP server's port 20 to ports > 1023 (Server initiates data connection to client's data port) * FTP server's port 20 from ports > 1023 (Client sends ACKs to server's data port) In order to resolve the issue of the server initiating the connection to the client a different method for FTP connections was developed. This was known as passive mode, or PASV, after the command used by the client to tell the server it is in passive mode. In passive mode FTP the client initiates both connections to the server, solving the problem of firewalls filtering the incoming data port connection to the client from the server. When opening an FTP connection, the client opens two random unprivileged ports locally (N > 1023 and N+1). The first port contacts the server on port 21, but instead of then issuing a PORT command and allowing the server to connect back to its data port, the client will issue the PASV command. The result of this is that the server then opens a random unprivileged port (P > 1023) and sends the PORT P command back to the client. The client then initiates the connection from port N+1 to port P on the server to transfer data. From the server-side firewall's standpoint, to support passive mode FTP the following communication channels need to be opened: * FTP server's port 21 from anywhere (Client initiates connection) * FTP server's port 21 to ports > 1023 (Server responds to client's control port) * FTP server's ports > 1023 from anywhere (Client initiates data connection to random port specified by server) * FTP server's ports > 1023 to remote ports > 1023 (Server sends ACKs (and data) to client's data port)

Characteristics and functions of file transfer protocol?

FTP is a simple network protocol based on Internet protocol and also a term used when referring to the process of copying files when using FTP technology. To transfer files with FTP, you use a program often called the "client." The FTP client program initiates a connection to a remote computer running FTP "server" software. After the connection is established, the client can choose to send and/or receive copies of files, singly or in groups. To connect to an FTP server, a client requires a username and password as set by the administrator of the server. Many public FTP archives follow a special convention for that accepts a username of "anonymous." Simple FTP clients are included with most network operating systems, but most of these clients (such as FTP.EXE on Windows) support a relatively unfriendly command-line interface. Many alternative freeware / shareware third-party FTP clients have been developed that support graphic user interfaces (GUIs) and additional convenience features. In any FTP interface, clients identify the FTP server either by its Ip address (such as 192.168.0.1) or by its host name. FTP supports two modes of data transfer: plain text (ASCII), and binary. You set the mode in the FTP client. A common error when using FTP is attempting to transfer a binary file (such as a program or music file) while in text mode, causing the transfered file to be unusable.
