ABSTRACT
This paper relates the part of a Cisco packet tracer for a case study
to design and simulation FTP. Packet Tracer only simulates the process
for configuring these services. FTP server and client software Packages
each have their own unique installation and configuration instructions.
The first time you attempt to connect to a web address, Packet Tracer
takes several seconds to simulate the DNS name resolution process FTP
was one of the first Internet protocols FTP powers one of the
fundamental Internet functions and is the prescribed method for the
transfer of files between computers. It is also the easiest and most secure
way to exchange files over the Internet. The File Transfer Protocol is one of
the oldest and widely used protocols on the Internet. The protocol's primary
character set, bit ASCII, has served the protocol well through the early
growth years of the Internet..

INTRODUCTION
FTP was designed in the 1 970s. At that time, the Internet was a closed network
and security
was not a big concern. When FTP is used in modern environments with NAT
gateways, firewalls, and Cisco access lists, problems can arise, whether you use
active or passive mode. FTP is often used for mission critical applications on the
public Internet, which is probably a mistake. There have been many
attempts to make FTP more secure. These attempts cause troubleshooting issues
and also fail to fix the most glaring security problem with FTP, which is that it
sends the username and password as clear text. Many alternatives to FTP are
available, including SCP, SFTP, and WebDAV.
FTP was created with the overall goal of allowing indirect use of computers
on a network, by making it easy for users to move files from one place to
another. Like most TCP/IP protocols, it is based on a client/server model,
with an FTP client on a user machine creating a connection to an FTP
server to send and retrieve files to and from the server. The main objectives
of FTP were to make file transfer simple, and to shield the user from
implementation details of how the files are actually moved from one place
to another.
The design of FTP server

Cisco Packet Tracer

Packet Tracer is virtual networking simulation software developed by Cisco, to

learn and understand concepts in computer networks allows students to
experiment with network behaviour and ask “what if” questions. As an integral
part of the Networking Academy comprehensive learning experience, Packet
Tracer provides simulation, visualization, authoring, assessment, and
collaboration capabilities and facilitates the teaching and learning of complex
technology concepts

So what FTP?
A file transfer protocol (FTP) utility allows you to transfer files from an account on
a remote computer to your own local computer and vice-versa. Fuqua distributes
the Winsock_FTP utility as part of its Computer Mediated Learning Environment
software suite. Winsock_FTP appears with a familiar Windows type interface and
is easy to use. Other FTP utilities are available that can be used as an alternative
to the Winsock_FTP program, and many are available for free or for a small
charge and can be downloaded from the Internet

Use of FTP(file transfer protocol)

FTP is particularly useful for transferring files that are too large to conveniently
transfer on diskette or as e-mail attachments. Any file larger than a megabyte or
so in size is best transferred using FTP
Objectives
a) Promote sharing of file
b) Encourage indirect use of remote computer
c) Transfer data reliable and efficiently
d) Shield user from variation in file storage

CONCLUSION
Our project is only a humble venture to satisfy the needs in an FTP. Several user
friendly commands have also adopted. This package shall prove to be a powerful
package in satisfying all the requirements of the organization
