Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) establishes a connection with the remote host before sending data.
It depends on application, protocols can be either TCP or UDP.
The purpose of TCP is a connection oriented protocol, meaning that protocol establishes a connection or session between the sources and destination device prior to sending the data segment. UDP is transport layer protocol that provides an interface between the application layer and the network layer.
These protocols require that a logical connection be established between two devices before transferring data. This is generally accomplished by following a specific set of rules that specify how a connection should be initiated, negotiated, managed and eventually terminated. Usually one device begins by sending a request to open a connection, and the other responds ' like telephone call'.
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is found in the TCP/IP stack of the Application Layer of the OSI reference model. FTP is specialized for sending and receiving files.
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) - sends mail only POP (Post Office Protocol) - retrieves mail and manages mailboxes IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) - retrieves mail and manages mailboxes
The network protocol that uses port 21 is FTP (File Transfer Protocol). FTP is commonly used for transferring files between a client and a server on a computer network. Port 21 is specifically designated for FTP control connections. When a user initiates an FTP connection, the client connects to the server's port 21 to establish communication for sending and receiving files. It is important to note that FTP operates in two modes: active mode and passive mode, each using different ports for data transfer.
breaks large amounts of data into packets of a fixed size, transmits the packets over the Internet using the Internet protocol (IP), and sequentially numbers them to allow reassembly at the recipient's end.
Connection-oriented protocol
The purpose of TCP is a connection oriented protocol, meaning that protocol establishes a connection or session between the sources and destination device prior to sending the data segment. UDP is transport layer protocol that provides an interface between the application layer and the network layer.
A reliable data transfer is one that is stable . For a reliable data transfer a connection oriented protocol is used. A connection oriented protocol is one that receives acknowledgement from the receiver before sending the further data.
SMTP Protocol
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is considered to be a 'reliable' protocol for the transport of data. This is because it uses a applies a conversation mechanism that involves establishing a connection (a process known as 'hand-shaking') before sending the data and waiting for the receiving computer to reply. If the receiving computer didn't get the complete data (e.g. it didn't arrive or it was corrupted) then it will request that the sending computer retransmits the data. UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is considered to be an 'unreliable' protocol because it does not bother with the hand-shaking or the error checking. Data is transmitted and is assumed to arrive at the other end. It's up to the Application Layer (not the Transport Layer) on the receiving computer to sort out the datagrams that arrive and check that they're not corrupted. IF the receiving computer is going to request missing or damaged UDP packets then it's up to the application to do so, not the Transport layer.
It is forms part of the Point-to-Point Protocol. In setting up PPP communications, both the sending and receiving devices send out LCP packets to determine the standards of the ensuing data transmission. LCP is logically a Transport Layer protocol according to the OSI model,

No. It is a function of an application (SMTP is an e-mail sending protocol within these applications).
