The "bulb" is an infra-red light emitting diode, normally abbreviated to infra-red LED or IR-LED. It sends a stream of light pulses carrying information to the receiver or sensor on a television. Although it uses light, it is not a part of the spectrum that we can see, so we do not see it operating.

Why is it said that FTP sends control information 'out-of-band'?

FTP uses two parallel TCP connections, one connection for sending control information (such as a request to transfer a file) and another connection for actually transferring the file. Because the control information is not sent over the same connection that the file is sent over, FTP sends control information out of band.

Does a TV remote control reflect a infrared beam?

It doesn't reflect in infra-red beam. The hand control emits infra red light and the the television sensor detects the signal. The hand control emits light in much the same pattern that a flashlight emits light. The difference is that the hand control sends out light that we cannot see and it sends it in a string of pulses. The pulses allow the receiver to understand which command the hand control is sending.
