CHAPTER 19

File Transfer: FTP and TFTP

Exercises
1.
If the control connection is accidentally severed during an FTP transfer, there
would be no problem until the data transfer completed and the client attempted to
send another command.

3.
There should be limitations on anonymous FTP because it is unwise to grant the
public complete access to a system. If the commands that an anonymous user
could use were not limited, that user could do great damage to the file system (e.g.,
erase it completely).

19.
TFTP needs to use RRQ and WRQ messages for connection establishment and to
let the server know what kind of service is required. These functions are served by
various commands in FTP using the FTP control connection.

21. See Figure 19.8. The user datagram is 26 bytes.
