Securing FTP-How

 Securing FTP You can make your FTP uploads and downloads more secure in one of two ways: through Secure File Transfer Protocol SFTP or Transport Layer Security TLS. SFTPSFTP is a more secure way of uploading and downloading files than FTP. When you use FTP, data is sent unencrypted, so someone who intercepts the data can easily read it. SFTP encrypts the commands and the data to provide a much more secure form of transport. To use SFTP (also...

The command channel is for commands and responses, the data channel is for actually transferring files. It's a nifty way of sending commands to the server without having to wait for the current data transfer to finish. In active mode, the client establishes the command channel (from client port X to server port 21(b)) but the server establishes...
