Topic 20 FTP Protocol Principles

Foreword
Early development of standards introduced the foundations of a file transfer protocol, with the aim of promoting the sharing of files between remote locations that were not impacted by variations in file storage systems among hosts. The resulting FTP application was eventually adopted as part of the TCP/IP protocol suite. The FTP service remains an integral part of networking as an application for ensuring the reliable and efficient transfer of data, commonly implemented for effective backup and retrieval of files and logs, thereby improving overall management of the enterprise network. This section therefore introduces the means for engineers and administrators to implement FTP services within Huawei products.

Objectives
Upon completion of this section, you will be able to:
- Explain the file transfer process of FTP.
- Configure the FTP service on supporting Huawei devices.

Sincere Appreciation
A big thank you to all the trainees that gave me a chance to train the on this course during the pandemic, this would not have been possible without you.

Thanks to Huawei ICT Academy Kenya Team, Suki & Michael, for the support and the Global Huawei ICT Academy for giving us a chance to train live online using their tools.

Thanks to God. A dream come true! :)
