What is FTP (File Transfer Protocol)?
A protocol that authenticates with username and password or a generic log in, allowing full-featured functionality such as listing, adding, and deleting files.
Key ports are TCP 20 for active data transfer and TCP 21 for control/administration. FTP can also be set up with anonymous logins.
What are the key ports used by FTP?
TCP 20 (active data transfer) and TCP 21 (control/administration)
Authentication is important, and FTP can be configured for anonymous logins.
What is SSH (Secure Shell)?
A protocol that looks and acts like Telnet but provides encrypted remote command-line administration.
The key port used is TCP 22.
What is the main disadvantage of Telnet?
It does not provide encryption, sending all data in clear text.
Uses TCP port 23 and is considered less secure.
What is SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol)?
A protocol used for server to server email transfer, sending mail from a device to a mail server.
The key port is TCP 25.
What is the primary function of DNS (Domain Name System)?
Translates domain names into IP addresses, which is critical for network navigation.
The key port is UDP 53.
What does DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) do?
Automates the assignment of IP addresses and network configuration parameters.
Key ports are UDP 67 (server) and UDP 68 (client).
What are the ports for HTTP and HTTPS?
HTTP uses TCP port 80 for unencrypted web traffic, and HTTPS uses TCP port 443 for secure communication.
There is a shift toward HTTPS for enhanced security.
What are the email retrieval protocols and their ports?
POP3 (TCP port 110) and IMAP (TCP port 143).
IMAP offers features like folder management and synchronization across multiple devices.
What is SMB (Server Message Block)?

What ports are associated with FTP?
TCP 20 - active data transfer
TCP 21 - control/admin
SSH port?
TCP 22 -encrypted remote command-line administration
Preferred over telnet
SMTP port?
TCP 25 - sending email from one server to another
DNS port?
UDP 53 - converts domain names www.blah.com to IP addresses 162.343.272.234
DHCP port?
UDP 67 - server
UDP 68 - client
Automates assignment of IP addresses and network configuration
HTTPS port?
TCP 443 - SECURE ENCEYPTED COMMUNICATION OVER THE WEB
