1 FTP: File Transfer Protocol EE 122: Intro to Communication Networks Fall 2007 (WF 4-5:30 in Cory 277) Vern Paxson TAs: Lisa Fowler, Daniel Killebrew & Jorge Ortiz Materials with thanks to Jennifer Rexford, Ion Stoica, and colleagues at Princeton and UC Berkeley

2 File Transfer Protocol (FTP) Allows a user to copy files to/from remote hosts Usage: –Client connects to the FTP server –User provides a login id and password to become authenticated –User can explore the directories –User can download files from and upload files to the server A predecessor of the Web (RFC 959 in 1985) No URL, hypertext, and helper applications to assist user –Requirements for the user: oKnow the name of the server machine oHave an account on the machine oCan find the directory where the files are stored oKnow whether the file is text or binary oKnow what tool to run to render and edit the file

3 How Do You Transfer Files Today? HTTP - the usual Web transfer mechanism ( FTP –You may not have realized that you use it –ftp:// links in web pages (e.g.: sftp –E.g.: to upload your project files to EECS inst. machines BitTorrent and other file-sharing software scp Any others?

4 Why Study FTP? Helps cement familiarity with text/status-code based protocols (similar to SMTP) Illustrates use of multiple concurrent connections –One for control (commands & replies) –Another connection for data (depending on the command) Illustrates reversal of roles –For data connection, FTP user’s process plays the server role, FTP server plays the client role We’ll later use FTP as an example when looking at issues with Network Address Translation (NAT)

5 Example Commands Authentication –USER: specify the user name for login –PASS: specify the user’s password Exploring the files –LIST: list the files for the given file specification –CWD: change to the given directory Downloading and uploading files –TYPE: set type to ASCII (A) or binary image (I) –RETR: retrieve the given file –STOR: upload the given file Closing the connection –QUIT: close the FTP connection

6 Server Response Codes 1xx: positive preliminary reply –The action is being started, but expect another reply before sending the next command. 2xx: positive completion reply –The action succeeded and a new command can be sent. 3xx: positive intermediate reply –The command was accepted but another command is now required. 4xx: transient negative completion reply –The command failed and should be retried later. 5xx: permanent negative completion reply –The command failed and should not be retried.

7 FTP Data Transfer Use separate data connection to: –Send lists of files (LIST) –Retrieve a file (RETR) –Upload a file (STOR) control data

8 Creating the Data Connection Client acts like a server –Creates a socket oAssigned an ephemeral port number by the kernel –Listens on socket –Waits to hear from FTP server control socket

9 Creating Data Connection (cont.) But, the server doesn’t know the port number After listening, client tells it to the server –Via the PORT command on the control connection PORT

10 Creating Data Connection (cont) Then, the server initiates the data connection –Connects to the socket on the client machine –Client accepts to complete the connection Data now flows along second connection; first connection remains open for more commands/replies

11 FTP Communication Overview File System Server PI Server DTP User DTP File System User PI User Interface User Command Connection Data Connection Protocol Interpreter (PI) Data Transfer Protocol (DTP) tcp/21 tcp/20 tcp/random Server Client

12 Why Out-of-Band Control? Avoids need to mark end of data transfer –Data transfer ends by closing data connection –Control connection stays up Can abort a transfer without killing control connection –Avoids requiring the user to log in again –Done with an ABOR on the control connection Third-party file transfer between two hosts –Data connection could go to a different host oSend a different client IP address to the server oe.g., user coordinates transfer between two servers –However: Rarely needed and presents security issues

13 Example Traffic captured using tcpdump -s 0 -w ftp.trace host ftp.ee.lbl.gov Issue command ftp ftp.ee.lbl.gov

14 What It Looks Like to the User Issue command ftp ftp.ee.lbl.gov % ftp ftp.ee.lbl.gov Connected to ee.lbl.gov NOTICE TO USERS This computer is a Federal computer system and is the property of the United States Government.

18 What It Looks Like “On The Wire” Issue command ftp ftp.ee.lbl.gov % ftp ftp.ee.lbl.gov Server sends exactly this text: < 220- < NOTICE TO USERS < < This computer is a Federal computer system and is the property […] < LOG OFF IMMEDIATELY if you do not agree to the conditions stated < in this warning. < < Your ip address is < The local time is Wed Sep 27 15:04: < < FTP server ready Name (ftp.ee.lbl.gov:ee122): anonymous Client sends: > USER anonymous Server replies with exactly this text: < 331 Anonymous login ok, send your complete address as your password.

23 PASV Mode Command issued by client Process: –Client issues PASV command –Server picks and returns an IP and port number –Server must listen on that port number oRather than initiating a connection upon receipt of a command –Client establishes a data connection to the above

24 PASV Mode Example $ telnet Trying Connected to localhost. Escape character is ‘^]’. 220 FTP Server Ready USER ftp 331 Please specify the password. PASS password 230 Login successful. SYST 215 UNIX Type: L8 PASV 227 Entering Passive Mode (192,168,0,1,84,149) LIST 150 Here comes the directory listing. 226 Directory send OK. Is there anything here that might cause concern?
