Understanding FTP using raw FTP commands and telnet

http://www.webdigi.co.uk/blog/2009/ftp-using-raw-commands-and-telnet/

Posted by iphp on May 5, 2009 in IT, Web |

Both FTP and SMTP are simple text based protocols. A previous article showed how to check if an email address exists using SMTP commands from the terminal. Here I would like to show you how you can use raw FTP commands to connect to an FTP server, login, traverse directories and even download files. But before we do this we need to understand how FTP is different from the other protocols.

Firstly FTP (File Transfer Protocol) uses two channels, the data channel and the control channel. This is called out-of-band control. The control channel sends commands to the FTP server and the data channel is used for data (to retrieve files from the server, etc).

Secondly there are two major modes of FTP operation, the active mode and the passive modes. The difference lies in the way the data channels are opened. In Active FTP, the FTP server will connect to the client port and send data to it. In Passive FTP, the FTP server will tell the client which port to connect to for retrieving data. Firewalls can complicate the process on both sides.

In our example, we will use Passive FTP (avoiding firewall issues on client) to download a file using anonymous FTP login to the IETF servers. There are a lot of files on this server by some estimates it is about 4GB. We will pick up a small file called ftpext-charter.txt located in the /ietf/ftpext/ folder on the server.

Open the terminal/command prompt (On windows, Go to Start > Run > type cmd). Once you are on the command prompt, type this command to connect to the FTP server and issue commands

C:\> telnet ftp.ietf.org 21

RETR ftpext-charter.txt 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for ftpext-charter.txt (6060 bytes) 226 Transfer complete QUIT 221 Goodbye.  

Commands/Response on control channel

We issued these five commands in the following order at lines 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 13.
USER - Send username to the FTP server
PASS - Send the password (Anonymous servers need email address)
CWD - Change the working directory on the server
PASV - To enter the passive mode (To let client connect to the server)
RETR - To retrieve a remote file from the server
QUIT - To terminate the connection to the server

Between line 10 and 12, you will notice that the file was downloaded. To start the download, I had to open up another telnet window to open the data channel. To figure out to which IP address and port I had to connect to, we have to look at line number 9. We received a set of numbers (64,170,98,33,151,31) from the server in response to the PASV command. The first four related to the IP address 64.170.98.33 and the last two 151 and 31 help us identify which port to connect to. Multiply the first by 256 and add it to the second. So, 151 * 256 + 31 which is equal to 38687. Now that we have the IP address and port number, all we have to do is to open a second terminal and telnet to IP:Port as shown below:

C:\> telnet 64.170.98.33 38687

This will now show you all the contents of the file ftpext-charter.txt being thrown into your second terminal window. Once this is done, you can proceed to type further commands on the control channel (the first terminal window).

Notes:
- The anonymous FTP server on IETF has a 60 second timeout on its control channel connection. Please connect to your own FTP servers they might be more forgiving to humans on terminals.
- FTP is not very secure as you can see the password and username are sent in plain text! Also, there is no encryption as you saw on file downloads or uploads.
- Type HELP once you send your password to see what commands you can issue the server.
- Here is a list of raw FTP commands and the parameters
- Here is a list of anonymous FTP servers
- This is the FTP sequence diagram which explains stuff at DNS and TCP level
- On windows there is a built in command line FTP tool (called ftp). It is useful but it does not show us how to use raw commands and communicate to an FTP server.
- SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol), FTPS (FTP over SSL) are more secure ways of using FTP.

The FTP HELP command via terminal

Hope this helps!

Thanks for this post, reminding me of the times we had ONLY text based ftp clients (just a bit more comfortable than telnet). That was about 300 years ago …

Very informative article thanks a bunch for this. Do you know the reason we need to multiple the 2nd last number and add the last for PASV mode?

@Mike
64,170,98,33,151,31 are all octets(meaning group of eight). Eight bits have a maximum value of 255 and a minimum of 0. So if you multiply the octet 151 by 256 and add it to 31 you get the port.

The Ultimate Motion Graphics Tutorials Round-Up

http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/05/25/the-ultimate-motion-graphics-tutorials-round-up/

Although static graphics is obviously much easier to scan and therefore can be easily perceived, motion graphics brings dynamics and life into otherwise static content. Anmation can help designers to convey a deeper meaning with the use of various video-techniques. It can also provide a better data visualization than the static graphics. How and where you use it in real-life situations is totally up to your talent and your abilities to express yourself.

Motion graphics are not only created using digital techniques; also traditional animation and special effects techniques are used. However, digital techniques help to minimize production costs and achieve nice results with less efforts. For example, the Juno opening sequence was a hand-made motion graphics which took painstakingly long time to finish.

A couple of weeks ago we presented Best Tutorials For Cinematic Visual Effects. In this post we present a collection of useful Tutorials for motion graphics – created with the use of digital techniques. These tutorials focus on the designing skills of a motion designer and not on the modeling or the animation. You can use these techniques to create stunning motion graphics or improve upon these ideas and come up with your own creative ideas that will be truly remarkable. Most of the tutorials are from similar sources, because of its quality and usefulness.
