Study Notes
- FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a method for transferring files between devices, primarily used with some form of authentication for remote login. FTP uses TCP port 21.
- FTP supports file management functions, allowing users to list, add, delete, and manage files on remote servers.
- SSH (Secure Shell) and Telnet are protocols used for terminal or command line connections to remote devices. SSH uses TCP port 22 and encrypts data for secure communication, while Telnet uses TCP port 23 and does not encrypt data.
- SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is a protocol used by email servers to communicate with each other and with mail clients, using TCP port 25.
- DNS (Domain Name System) is a protocol that translates fully qualified domain names to IP addresses, using UDP port 53.
- DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is used to assign IP addresses automatically to devices on a network, using UDP ports 67 and 68.
- HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is the protocol used by web browsers to communicate with web servers, using TCP ports 80 (unencrypted) and 443 (encrypted with HTTPS).
- Email clients use POP3 or IMAP to receive email messages, but SMTP for sending messages.
- DNS and DHCP are critical for resolving domain names to IP addresses and assigning IP addresses to devices respectively, allowing for easier network communication.
